Interesting museum about the history of Jute in Dundee and the connected industrial heritage, well worth a visit. Staff were also helpful.

Well worth the visit. Informative, easy to understand, thoughtfully and well organized museum and super friendly volunteers. It can be cold inside so dress warm! Tomato soup and cheese scone for lunch in cafe was nice.

Greeted with an informative welcome from a volunteer explaining the history of the building and why Verdant was the chosen name (sited on what was previously green fields). This museum was well laid out, easy to navigate, and gave great insights into the jute making history of India & Dundee. The influence of the former whaling industry was an eye opener. This was also a good insight to the social history of Dundee. A couple of hours very well spent.

Very good museum! A gentleman in a period costume started our tour in the first room, the followed by a good demonstrations by a former mill worker and a volunteer guide. Amazing to see the old machines still working! I would have bought some jute souvenirs (rather than bags) if there were any! The cafe was really nice, too! The tickets let you have an all-year entry!
