A futuristic museum designed by Tokyo Olympic Stadium architect Kengo Kuma and featuring exterior concrete slabs in a hull shape was unveiled in Scotland on Wednesday.
The £80 million (90 million euros, $104 million) Victoria & Albert Dundee sits on the banks of the River Tay.
The original V&A in London, named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, is the world’s largest museum of decorative arts and design.
The museum is the centerpiece of a £1 billion regeneration of Scotland’s fourth largest city, which has suffered years of economic decline.
City leaders hope the museum will create a similar economic boost as the Guggenheim Bilbao, which opened in 1997 and took the Basque city from a tourist backwater to a major draw for around 1.
