VisitScotland praises 'significantly important' V&A Dundee

Commenting on the announcement V&A Dundee has been selected as one of five finalists for Art Fund Museum of the Year 2019, Malcolm Roughead, VisitScotland Chief Executive, said: “This incredible achievement cements V&A Dundee’s reputation as one of the UK’s most significantly important cultural attractions and recognises more than a decade’s worth of work, from initial conception to full operation. My heart-felt congratulations to everyone involved, this is an extraordinary accomplishment.

“V&A Dundee has been a game-changer for Scottish tourism, propelling the East of Scotland into the global spotlight and showcasing our cultural offering to a worldwide audience.

“Making this prestigious shortlist will undoubtedly increase interest in the museum, which is already exceeding expectation, and continue to position Dundee as a must-visit destination. We wish V&A Dundee the best of luck at the final in July.”
