The McManus is a magnificent Victorian, Gothic building where art, history and the environment combine to offer a facinating insight into Dundee. The McManus has recently undergone an exciting and extensive redevelopment project, to transform the facility into a museum and art gallery for the 21st century. The facility features new displays, cafe and retail area, while still retaining the original Gothic architecture of the building. A Creative Learning Suite and hands-on activities incorporating the latest technology also enhance the overall visitor experience.

Exhibition - A Painted World: Selected Works 1975-2011 by Alan Robb
For twenty years, Alan Robb was Head of School of Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, Dundee. This exhibition includes a curation of works from his collection. His work is clearly figurative, with his early work reflecting his interest in popular culture, inspired by his love of comics, particularly his favourites - The Beano, The Topper and The Beezer. His most recent body of work is strongly linked to Brazil and his research into the imaginative world of Afro-Brazilian Folklore and Cosmology. www.alanrobb.net
