The V&A, formerly known as the Victoria & Albert Museum, has opened a subsidiary in the former port district of the Scottish city of Dundee, in an £80m building designed to represent a vessel jutting out into the River Tay.
The building is being likened to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, which also has a maritime-inspired design and revived the Spanish city when it was built in the 1990s on the site of a former shipyard.
