Q:
Reading an article from the Dundee Courier in which it says, “Galleries one and two which will host exhibitions provided by the V&A for the first two years”, does that mean the VandA will stop providing exhibits after this period?
A:
No idea - it’s awful and needs something anyway so maybe this will help. I won’t be back - huge waste of money
