Last February, I was delighted to become Patron of the V&A [in] London. Now, nearly a year later, I’m thrilled to be standing in a brand-new V&A: one which has been built for the city of Dundee and for Scotland, and which is already picking up international awards. In its first four months alone, it welcomed over 360,000 visitors – a truly remarkable feat.文章源自英文巴士-https://www.en84.com/6657.html

Walking around this world-class space, it’s easy to see how Scotland’s first dedicated design museum is already inspiring the next generation, by providing a new learning space for discovery and learning.
I have been amazed by the breath-taking architecture and the sheer range of design on display.
But most of all, I’ve been moved by the passion of the people who work here, and the dedication of all those who have helped make this important project succeed.
I believe that we should celebrate all our leading galleries, museums, and cultural centres playing a greater role in communities, not just in London, but up and down the country, too. The cultural riches of the UK belong to all people of the UK.
This is what V&A Dundee has achieved. The partners involved in this project from the local area, Scotland, and the UK more broadly all deserve enormous credit for the way you have collaborated to make this happen.
I hope that this Museum will serve as an inspiration to others, by showing how great things can be achieved when different communities all pull together. With this thought in mind, I am pleased to declare V&A Dundee ‘officially’ open.
