| Financial boost for Dundee’s V&A museum |
|

Plans for a new Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum at Dundee has received a financial boost after securing £4m in private donations.
The Scottish government has already invested £15m in capital funding and the Heritage Lottery Fund has given a first-phase pass on a bid of up to £9.2m towards the project’s £45m cost.
The latest £4m investment was received from individuals, trusts and foundations.
Officials behind the project said that the latest donations mean the project is well on its way to achieving the £45m fundraising target.
Sandy Richardson, Development Director of V&A at Dundee: “We are absolutely delighted to be able to make this announcement and are extremely grateful to those individuals and organisations who are supporting the project. It is a wonderful show of confidence in V&A at Dundee.”
The funding announcement comes as the project displays its latest building plans as part of a new exhibition open to the public between the 17th and 19th January from at Bernard King Library, University of Abertay, Dundee.
Outline plans for the new site alongside the latest visuals and vision for the project will be on display.
Architect Kengo Kuma’s revised plans show V&A at Dundee moving shorewards - closer to the RSS Discovery and other city attractions and into the centre of Dundee’s central waterfront.
The plans also detail the way in which the iconic building, created of two separate structures arching up to meet each other will be built within two pools of water, reinforcing the connection between the building and the River Tay.
The new museum will provide 1,700 sq m (18,299 sq ft) of gallery space. The galleries will host exhibitions of international design, alongside displays devoted to Scottish design – historical, contemporary and of the future.
V&A at Dundee is being delivered by Design Dundee Ltd, a partnership between the Victoria and Albert Museum and Dundee City Council, the Universities of Dundee and Abertay Dundee, and Scottish Enterprise
The revised planning application will be lodged with Dundee City Council later this year following the 12-week public consultation period.
