ZMMA were commissioned by the V&A Dundee to design the NLHF supported Scottish Design Galleries – the first in the world dedicated to telling the extraordinary story of Scottish design. Through 300 objects spanning more than 500 years and ranging from fashion to architecture, healthcare to furniture and engineering to video game design, ZMMA’s design allows visitors to explore Scotland’s unique design landscape in four chapters, each contextualising the collection within distinct atmospheres which excite and intrigue in different ways.
Digital interactives, screens and immersive projections are interspersed with hands-on opportunities for learning and engagement.
The Guardian newspaper reported, ‘designed by museum experts ZMMA, the Scottish Design Galleries are a tour de force’; the FT said the Galleries are ‘an absolute delight’, and BBC Radio 4’s Front Row described ZMMA’s design as ‘beautiful – very, very attractive; it’s of absolute international museums standard.’
