Designed by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma &amp; Associates in collaboration with the V&amp;A and Dundee City Council, the museum boasts a total built area of 8,445m\u00b2 and cost \u20ac1.11 million.<br \/>\nThe museum comprises two inverted pyramid-shaped structures that rise majestically from the banks of the River Tay. The curved and straight sections of the facade intertwine 20m high, forming a graceful arch reminiscent of the Royal Arch built in 1844 to welcome Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.<br \/>\nThe exterior facade of the V&amp;A Dundee is layered with 2,429 precast concrete panels designed and laid in parallel using the latest 3D design tools. The effect gives an unexpected twist to the building&#8217;s form, creating a unique interplay of light and shadow, which changes depending on the time of day, season, and weather conditions.<br \/>\nThe overall impression is that of two massive, stranded rocks. Their rugged and craggy surfaces evoke the dramatic cliffs of Scotland\u2019s coastline. However, the laminated structure and the positioning of a shallow mirror and reflection pools bring to mind the tranquil aesthetic typically associated with Japanese gardens.<br \/>\nMassive marine formworks holding 12,500 tons of rock were constructed to create the foundation. This impressive base supports nearly 8,500 square metres of cultural and leisure space, encompassing communal areas, a learning centre, an auditorium, galleries for temporary exhibitions and the permanent Scottish Art Gallery, a restaurant with panoramic views and additional spaces. A caf\u00e9 and gift shop greet visitors in the entrance hall, where the walls are clad in oak panelling that echoes the exterior design.<br \/>\nV&amp;A Dundee has become more than just a museum since it opened in 2018. It has become an icon for the city and a symbol of its transformation. The museum is located on Dundee&#8217;s waterfront, once a hub of industry and home to one of the most important docks in the UK. In a nod to its illustrious past, the RRS Discovery, Captain Scott&#8217;s celebrated vessel used in the first exploration of Antarctica, is proudly docked in the quay in front of the museum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first Victoria &amp;
