V&A Dundee

The Scottish Government is to invest an extra £10 million to the construction of the V&A museum in Dundee.

The price of the V&A Museum of Design Dundee project has almost doubled the original estimates due to “surprising” constructions costs, it was revealed today.

Dundee has become the first UNESCO City of Design in the UK, a prestigious award that recognises the huge contribution the city has made to design worldwide.

Construction work on the V&A at Dundee has been delayed, a senior councillor has admitted, after it was revealed just a tenth of the project’s budget has been spent so far this year.
