I have been here many times, and will be back many times in future as the McManus Galleries is a jewel in Dundee's crown and is an absolute credit to our city. I always make a point of taking friends who are visiting and havnt been here before as it gives real insight into Dundee's past and present. Free entry, lovely cafe and fantastic displays, a place that Dundee is rightly proud of.
Loved it! Absolutely fantastic section on social history, as well as the other museum sections and art gallery. AND ITS FREE!
Top choice for a few hours (or less if you have less time) in Dundee.
Great experience! This museum shows us a good view and knowledge of the development of Dundee. Don't waist the opportunity to visit MaManus!
You could spend twenty minutes here or 5 hours. So much wonderful stuff here about Dundee. We stayed an hour and only managed downstairs and 2 art galleries. Really enjoyed it - the only thing I'd have liked more on is the weaving history. It is referenced a few times but I'd have liked more. Has a cafe and a small but really excellent shop.
An absolute treasure, how lucky Dundee is to have this museum, fascinating & beautiful exhibits. I was so thrilled to see this Rosetti painting, I've admired his art for many years but have never seen an original. Super helpful staff too. I wish I lived nearer.
Excellent place full of history and stuff of all kinds. Lot of things to see and variety. The admision is free. The place is nice and tidy. Personal is super kind.
I was really happy to see displays about and by women especially the Marie Imandt and Bessie Maxwell one, plus female contemporary artists. Note also the Women's Heritage Trail - excellent. It is free - what a wonderful thing.
McManus Galleries in the centre of Dundee is literally a hidden gem 💎 in Dundee. Two floors of display space inside a beautiful building. A fully accessible building giving access to the upper floors with a lift. Specialist exhibitions are presented throughout the year. The core display gives a fantastic insight into the early years and development of the people and the city of Dundee. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable.
There is a well stocked gift shop and a good cafe on site.
If you visit Dundee or live in Dundee this really is a gem worth visiting.
A rich place showcasing story of Dundee and art galleries.
Freen entry, family room, cafe, gift shop and toilets.
Beautiful building inside and out and well worth walking all around the outside. Apparently restored a few years ago and now lovingly maintained. Great modern art collection, interesting exhibits relating to the history of Dundee and the geology of the area. Well worth a visit, highly recommended. The architecture of the surrounding buildings well worth a look too.
