Will The First V&A Museum Outside Of London Ever Actually Open?
News from the Web
A project to build the Victoria & Albert's first museum outside London has won nearly £10m in lottery funding as fresh questions emerged about the new design collection's long-term costs.
Construction for the V&A at Dundee , an angular, sloping building jutting out over the river Tay, is due to start in August after the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) gave the project £9.4m towards its £45m costs.
The museum – the first permanent home for V&A exhibitions outside London and Scotland's first dedicated design museum, is due to open in late 2016 or early 2017, nearly three years later than originally proposed.
