About The McManus

The museum of The McManus is particularly famous for its fascinating architecture; it was commissioned by Prince Albert and designed by the architect George Gilbert Scott in 1867. The purpose behind its construction was to provide an academic and discursive space for the students of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, later on it was converted into a museum for students and the general public.

The inhabitants of Dundee had put on a huge donation ceremony to collect enough funds for the construction of the museum. The building was used for library services between 1873 and 1949, but in 1959, the city corporation took control of the building to turn it into an office and for the purposes of administration. The collection of the museum includes the works of the renowned artists like James Mclntosh, Patrick and Alberto Morrocco.
