Visit to see the Dundee tapestry exhibition at the V&A today. Great display of the city's past, present & future exploring the industrial heritage & achievements all created by 140 volunteers. Well worth a visit.

[Swivel Eyed Broon @Mr_Mark_Brown]

Enjoyed a visit to @VADundee at the weekend. Two great exhibitions on just now: The Fashion Show and The Dundee Tapestry.

The tapestries tell a wonderful story of Dundee, the birthplace of my Grandpa Broon (no, seriously) and my Dad.

Today would have been dad's 82nd birthday. Sadly he only made it to 58. But he lives on through his music and I was delighted to visit the fantastic @DundeeTapestry recently to see his name alongside his friend and collaborator Jim Reid and many other local luminaries ❤️

🪡 Wonderful evening celebrating Dundee’s rich tapestry @VADundee last night.

The community-created @DundeeTapestry exhibit features 35 stunning panels stitched by 140+ volunteers - mainly women - showcasing the spirit of the city, its history and its people in vibrant detail.

[Shona Robison SNP @ShonaRobisonSNP]

🧵 It was great fun spotting local icons, landmarks and industries - there's also lots to learn and hidden gems along the way.

Congratulations to @jf_fyffe, @AndrewCrummy, @franstevenson9 and all the stitchers for weaving their magic on the textiles that everyone will now enjoy.

[Leonie Bell @Leonie_S_Bell]

The @DundeeTapestry is open @VADundee ! 35 panels detailed by a stitching team of 140 are filling the upper foyer. It’s a collective, creative & gently radical Dundee love story. Stitch by stitch it tells the stories of the people, places & moments that have made & changed Dundee
