The McManus is open!

The McManus: Dundee's Art Gallery and Museum has now reopened. The reopening has been a great success so far, with huge numbers visiting. I have visited the refurbished gallery and it is well worth a visit. You can see what is on display and plan your visit by going to the also newly refurbished website.

The McManus demonstrates that best in culture can be found in Dundee. To see the best in arts, culture and heritage relevant to Dundee visit the McManus. The best in culture is not only found in Glasgow, Edinburgh or even London but is also here in Dundee. The McManus is part of our national cultural heritage in Scotland and in the UK.

This morning's editorial in the Courier was headed 'McManus Reborn' and went on to say:

'Dundee's new-look art gallery and museum has reopened to acclaim. It has popular paintings like the McTaggarts, or Puss in Boots by Sir John Millais, old friends like the Tay whale, and much, much more. It was [a] long wait but the verdict is: "worth it".'

I would like to thank everyone who has worked so hard to get the gallery re-opened. I would also urge everyone to take the time to visit the McManus.
