Venue Description

These two exhibition galleries are the principal display space for the University of Dundee Museum Collections, showcasing a range of fascinating exhibitions featuring art, design, science, medicine, natural history and more. Exhibitions change around every three months, so there's always something new to see!

Entrance: The front door of the building has some steps but also ramps for step-free access. The back doors of the building have step-free access. There are buttons to press which enable doors to open automatically. Inside the building: The Tower Foyer Gallery is on the ground floor. The Lamb Gallery is on the first floor of the building, accessible by either stairs or lifts. There are three lifts, two of which are wheelchair-accessible.

Toilets

There is a single accessible toilet right next to the Tower Foyer Gallery by the front entrance to the building. It has a wide door, easy-turn handles and a grab rail for support.

Staff

Unfortunately the galleries are unstaffed and we have no control over the staffing of the Tower Building reception. The two main receptionists are very friendly and willing to help but do not have special disability-awareness training.

Assistance dog facilities

Assistance dog exercise facilities

Assistance dogs may be exercised anywhere on the campus grounds. There are green spaces immediately in front of and behind the Tower Building and many others around the campus.
