What visitors say
If you want to do a short visit, I would recommed this place, it's wonderful place to go to history of Dundee. So much to learn about Dundee and they are a proudl lot. My love was to see lemmings game, made by DMA. There are historical objects around he world too. Staff are friendly and helpful. The building slacetis welcoming and genuinely friendly. The building itself is worth to have a good look at, the exterior is amazing andconplex, go look at their stairs. The interior is juxtaposition of old architecture and new, worth investing. Also there are two floors to this place. I lived in Dundee for a few years and knew only it to have one floor, I returned as a tourist visiting to find out there are two floors, don't be me.

A really nice gallery space and very friendly and helpful staff. We were short of time so only saw the Border Crossing exhibition but we'll definitely be back for another visit. The building is beautiful, a real gem.
