Dundee A. I.-Generated Article: The V&A Dundee is a design museum in Dundee, Scotland, which opened on 15 September 2018. It is the first design museum in Scotland and the first Victoria and Albert museum outside London. The V&A Dundee is also the first building in the United Kingdom designed by Kengo Kuma1. The plan for a V&A museum in Dundee originated at the University of Dundee in 2007 when Georgina Follett (then Dean of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design) suggested it to the University Principal, Sir Alan Langlands. Subsequently, Joan Concannon, the university’s director of external relations, made a 20-minute pitch to Sir Mark Jones, then director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, in which the case for Dundee was made, including its potential as an anchor for the urban regeneration of the waterfront. A design competition took place in 2010 to decide what the museum would look like. The Japanese architect Kengo Kuma won the competition; his design was inspired by the eastern cliff edges of Scotland.

The Scores, St Andrews A.I.- Generate Article: The Wardlaw Museum is located in St Andrews, Scotland and takes visitors inside the University of St Andrews. It was established in 1847 and was originally known as the University Museum. It was located in a small room in St Salvator’s Quad and housed a small collection of natural history specimens. Over the years, the museum grew in size and popularity, and it was eventually relocated to its present location on The Scores. The museum showcases the University’s extraordinary art, history, science and natural history collections through four new thematic galleries on the University’s ground-breaking research and global impact. It also features an exciting programme of temporary exhibitions, interactive experiences for all ages, and a beautiful sea view from the terrace and garden.
