Head inside the museum to find Lucy McKenzie’s Art Night commission Náhrdelník (Necklace) and ’When Is A Jug Not A Jug?' by V&A Dundee’s Young People’s collective.

Families are welcome, but children should be accompanied by an adult at all times. Spaces to some elements of the night are limited, but there's lots of Art Night activity to explore across the city, including Nabihah Iqbal’s musical takeover redefining the decks of our neighbors the RRS Discovery.
