The V&A Dundee opened in September 2018. It was designed by renowned Japanese architects Kengo Kuma & Associates and is their first building in the UK. The museum stands on the banks of the River Tay and the shape of the building is said to have been inspired by the cliffs on Scotland's north-eastern coastline. Part of the building juts out over the water and is meant to resemble the prow of a boat, honoring Dundee's shipbuilding history.
