We're inviting visitors to shape 'The Fabric of Dundee', a special exhibition celebrating 30 years of Verdant Works Museum, that will open in Autumn 2026.
As our Curatorial Team bring together this celebration of Dundee, jute stories, and the mill workers of the city, we're offering our visitors the chance to vote on which images and artefacts are included.
As part of the 'Weaving our Story' project, we'd love you to cast your vote and help us choose - our Recognised Collections are vast, and this is your opportunity to glimpse lesser-seen images and artefacts, whilst shaping 'The Fabric of Dundee' exhibition.
If you're visiting Verdant Works Museum from 19 May until 6 September 2026, make sure to head to the High Mill balconies and cast your vote on what you'd like to see included in the exhibition 🗳
