Doors Open Day - Tower Foyer & Lamb Galleries Guided Tour

For Doors Open Day we're opening up the Tower Building, one of the most recognisable buildings on the University of Dundee’s city campus. Designed in 1958 by architects Robert Matthew Johnson-Marshall, it reflects their interests in developing a vernacular-inspired Scottish modernist style. Although modern in form (predating Dundee’s later enthusiasm for multi-storey tower blocks) it was built from traditional stone and wood. It opened in 1961 with the extension following in 1968.

The Tower is home to the University’s main museum exhibition galleries, hosting a dynamic programme of free exhibitions of art and science. For this special Doors Open Day event, museum staff will give a guided tour of our current exhibitions (Traces of Care in the Tower Foyer Gallery and Dundee and the RSA in the Lamb Gallery).

Anyone booking on the University Archives tour at 10.30am will be able to join this one immediately after, but please book places on both.

Please contact museum[at]dundee.ac.uk or 01382 384310 if you have any queries.
