Parking
While the museum does not have its own car park, there are many Dundee City Council-owned car parks across the city.
On the Tay Road Bridge side of the Tay Road Bridge, public parking is accessible on South Crichton Street, close to the museum. There are nine parking spaces available, as well as six Blue Badge-accessible places. Visitors to the museum can also utilise this location as a 'drop off' and 'pick up' point. Discovery Point and Slessor Gardens are two more adjacent council car parks.
Accessibility
The museum offers a variety of access provisions to make everyone feel welcome. It was designed with inclusion and accessibility in mind. You can take a virtual tour to familiarise yourself with the museum and its amenities.
Disabled badge holders can park in any car park for free and without a time limit. As mentioned previously, six access parking places for Blue Badge holders are available in the public parking lot right adjacent to the museum. For deaf and visually impaired tourists, BSL translated and live described tours are provided.
Food and beverages
On your visit, stop for a bite to eat or a cup of coffee. Take a seat upstairs at Tatha Bar & Kitchen for breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea. Or stop by the coffee cart in Locke Hall to enjoy cake and coffee in the riverside seating area.
