The Mcmanus Cafe

I have been here many times, and will be back many times in future as the McManus Galleries is a jewel in Dundee's crown and is an absolute credit to our city. I always make a point of taking friends who are visiting and havnt been here before as it gives real insight into Dundee's past and present. Free entry, lovely cafe and fantastic displays, a place that Dundee is rightly proud of.

You could spend twenty minutes here or 5 hours. So much wonderful stuff here about Dundee. We stayed an hour and only managed downstairs and 2 art galleries. Really enjoyed it - the only thing I'd have liked more on is the weaving history. It is referenced a few times but I'd have liked more. Has a cafe and a small but really excellent shop.

McManus Galleries in the centre of Dundee is literally a hidden gem 💎 in Dundee. Two floors of display space inside a beautiful building. A fully accessible building giving access to the upper floors with a lift. Specialist exhibitions are presented throughout the year. The core display gives a fantastic insight into the early years and development of the people and the city of Dundee. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. There is a well stocked gift shop and a good cafe on site. If you visit Dundee or live in Dundee this really is a gem worth visiting.

Beautiful building inside and out and well worth walking all around the outside. Apparently restored a few years ago and now lovingly maintained. Great modern art collection, interesting exhibits relating to the history of Dundee and the geology of the area. Well worth a visit, highly recommended. The architecture of the surrounding buildings well worth a look too.
