It's all hands on deck at our sister museum, Discovery Point as they prepare to open a wonderful new exhibition this weekend!

🐋🔜 NEW EXHIBITION!

Opening this Saturday, 7th September, Scotland's Whale Road invites you to dive into stories from the country's whaling past and explore the work of scientists aboard RRS Discovery almost 100 years ago that turned the tide from hunting to conservation.

An excellent article on the stories of the jute mill statues that used to watch over the city's streets 🏭

@AnaMoretto4 Thank you, Ana! 💚

[Verdant Works Museum @VerdantWorks]

@jeemielad @Gordonpmorris We believe it could be - quite a few others have noted that when seeing the photograph!

[Verdant Works Museum @VerdantWorks]

@Gordonpmorris @onlyonejude27 It is on show in our museum, so could well be. It's a cracking photograph - that bale could weigh up to 400lbs! Thanks for your lovely words Jude and thanks for sharing, Gordon.

The engine house, featuring elaborate timber trusses designed for Dundee's first Corliss engine, was later extended at the front when it was reequipped.

Manhattan Works was a bustling centre of industry, powering the local economy and contributing to Dundee’s reputation as Jutetopolis. Constructed in 1873-1874 by Thomson Bros for Colonel Frank Sandeman, who was also associated with Stanley Cotton Mills.
