EVENT : The V&A, Dundee & the McManus Art Gallery & Museum

On Thursday 9th May 2019 a group of DHAers beseiged Dundee.  After a wonderful visit to the V&A we also took in the McManus (The A&V – Albert & Victoria) to see ‘The Old Bridge at Inverlochy, Glenorchy’  a painting by Allan Ramsay, part of the Orchar Collection. Brilliantly hosted by curator Susan Keracher, it was a special to see a painting of one of the old redundant bridges of Glenorchy. 

We have arrived - what a stunning building!
It's a flat surface, then it you move, and the building responds, it's a ship, it's . . .
Swallowed up by the dramatic setting.

V&A Dundee - We love it - we'll be back!
We enjoy the moment and agree that to purchase non-reflective glass for the painting would be a great idea.
