A great wee gem of a place. The building itself is fascinating. Look out for the skylight giving a view of the external sculptures. It is packed with wonders and makes a really good attempt at explaining much of Dundee's past. From the very beginning, with artefacts from prehistory and right up to the present on display. There is every incentive to take your time, strolling though the galleries. If history and archaeology are not for you, take the time to have a look at the artworks. Some stunners there! The shop is worth a look , especially for those seeking something different to take home.

This is a lovely museum dedicated to the history of Dundee. There's far more to the city than jam, jute and journalism! There are eight galleries to explore including a display on Dundee's status as a UNESCO City of Design. The museum is well worth a visit. And it's free!

I didn't know what to expect when walking through its doors, but I was pleasantly surprised. It has many displays of its history, including a huge collection of animals and artefacts. There is an entire floor dedicated to art, where you walk through to another room that has beautiful artwork upon its walls. There is a cafe and it's disabled friendly.

This and Discovery Point are the first two things on your Dundee list. The McManus is as good as a museum gets, with exhibits covering everything from fossils to animals to birds, as well as artifacts from around the world, including paintings and an excellent history of Dundee. Nice cafe, too. And it's all free. Something for everyone here.

This museum is housed in a magnificent building. It’s free to enter. The exhibits range from post ice age to nineteenth/ twentieth century. From the earliest settlers to industrial Dundee. Too much to see in one visit, try to return and start again from where you left off. One blot on the landscape my granddaughter wanted some water to drink. So I bought a small 300 ml bottle and was charged £3.50. One millilitre of water was over a penny. This just gouging money out of their visitors. When we return we will bring everything we need.

A wonderful old building filled to the brim with local historical artifacts and classical art. Well lit and nicely laid out with clear signage. A must visit when in the Dundee area.

This is a very nice museum in the centre of Dundee with lots of exhibits and art work show-casing Dundee's history and culture. Set over several floors in a lovely old building (and with free entry), it's a very pleasant way to spend 1-2 hours. The exhibits are nicely laid out and there's friendly staff plus a cafe. Worth your time if you're in the city.

I spent a pleasant hour here. There is an eclectic mix of exhibits, some of more local interest. Some of the exhibits are quirky. (Including a drag queen's costume based on Minnie the Minx cartoon character, would you believe.) Look out for the various stuffed birds and animals, a humpback whale skeleton, and some attractive paintings and sculptures by local artists. I could have spent another hour easily enough, and more if I'd used the attractive cafe. There is also original artwork by the illustrators employed by the comics for which Dundee is famous - the Beano, Dandy, Oor Wullie, the Broons, and Bunty. I found that interesting as those comics were very much part of my childhood. The building itself is grand too if you are interested in historical architecture.
