McManus has more to offer
Madam, – I read the letter from Dr Rev John Cameron regarding the V&A and I completely agree with him.
I think the building is a monstrosity and the contents therein are boring in comparison to other museums,in my opinion the McManus Galleries have more to offer.
Just because it was designed by a renowned Japanese architect it seems to be fashionable to extol the virtues of the building and I feel there is an Emperor’s New Clothes syndrome relative to the V&A.
Although there is little that can be done to the building, hopefully the exhibits will become more interesting in the future. Ian Stewart. 12 Boyack Crescent, Monifieth.
