A BBC TV show is set to go behind the scenes at V&A Dundee.
The much loved ‘ Secrets of the Museum ’ programme returns to our screens this week.
In series one and two the show revealed the hidden histories behind design treasures tucked away in the V&A’s vast collection in London.
The latest series starts on Thursday night with a later episode on Wednesday 13th April taking a closer look at V&A Dundee.
Throughout 2021, cameras followed the museum’s curators, technicians and the specialists who work so hard to capture the unseen work that goes on when caring for museum objects and preparing for new exhibitions.
Viewers will see the preparations undertaken by Curator Meredith More to ensure Minnie the Minx's first-time appearance in the V&A Dundee’s Scottish Design Galleries was a success.
She worked in partnership with Minnie’s present-day illustrator Laura Howell who provided a fascinating insight into this comic icon.
A spokesman for V&A Dundee added: “More object and exhibition stories from V&A Dundee feature later in the series, along with spectacular sweeping drone shots of Dundee’s enticing waterfront and Kengo Kuma’s extraordinary architecture.
“After a few years of restricted travelling, it’s hoped this beautifully shot documentary series produced by Blast! Films will inspire people to plan trips to visit all the V&A museums featured across six episodes – including Scotland’s sunniest city, Dundee!”
You can find out more about all the V&A stories included in Series 3 by visiting BBC or V&A.
- The new series of Secrets of the Museum begins on Thursday 7th April at 8pm on BBC Two
