Introduction
Welcome to The McManus Art Gallery & Museum!
The Galleries
There are 8 galleries within The McManus, which are laid out on 2 floors.
Visitors can embark on a journey through 400 million years, and witness how a small settlement developed into the City of Dundee as it is today.
From exhibits relating to the life of early man in the area, stunning paintings and decorative art through to artifacts from industries past and present, the City’s collections, many of which are recognized as being of national significance, give an insight into Dundee and its people.
Mon to Sat: 10am-5pm
Sun: 12.30-4.30pm
Last entry is 15 minutes before gallery closing time.
About Creative Learning
Learning is at the heart of The McManus and our programmes explore the City’s art and heritage, providing access to a diverse and fascinating collection of objects and artworks. Programme activities include artist-led workshops, handling sessions, tours, projects and events.The Creative Learning Team can advise visiting groups on the content of exhibitions, displays, programmes and learning resources, such as educators’ packs, ‘hands-on’ interactive and multi-media interpretation.
Our learning spaces encourage exploration and creativity. Our suite includes a creative studio workshop space, study space, IT access, cloakroom and accessible toilet.
As the largest Creative Learning space, the Studio is dedicated to the development of ‘hands-on’ creative activity, providing opportunities for visitors to participate in artist-led workshops and handling sessions. This light, south-facing space can accommodate large school or community groups.
The Study Space houses a unique range of interactive learning resources plus IT and internet access. As an open access drop-in space it allows families to experience different activities linked to our collection.
