RRS Discovery and Discovery Point

This five star visitor attraction is one of the focal points of Dundee’s visitor scene, sitting at the heart of the waterfront and housing the restored RRS Discovery. Climb aboard Discovery and follow in the footsteps of Captain Scott and his crew on one of the most heroic voyages of exploration ever undertaken and discover how the officers and crew survived for two winters trapped in the Antarctic ice.

RRS Discovery was built in Dundee specifically for scientific research in Antarctica. Audio-visual shows, computer-based interactives and displays of the actual artefacts of the crew will transport you to Antarctica .

The galleries display artworks and objects drawn from the museum’s collections of Art, Archaeology, History, Natural Sciences and World Cultures and provide a fascinating insight into Dundee’s people, culture and environment.

The museum has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment programme, re-opening to the public in 2010 with new displays, a specially designed learning suite, café and gift shop.

A trip to Dundee is not complete without a visit to the top of Dundee Law. The Law is part of an extinct volcano. There is much to be seen from the top of the Law with it's spectacular views across the Tay estuary to the hills of Fife.
