The five must-sees at the V&A Dundee
1. Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Oak Room
The interior of Miss Cranston’s famous Ingram Street Tea Room was salvaged just before a hotel development in the 1970s. Carefully restored, this is the first time all the surviving pieces will be reassembled and put on public display.
2. Artwork for Dennis the Menace strip The Beano was first published by DC Thomson in 1938. This artwork by David Law was made for publication on 30 April, 1960. Hand-coloured and with pencil annotations, the speech bubbles were made separately and have been glued on.
3. Valkyrie tiara More than 2,500 diamonds were used to create this headpiece, the last of its type made by Cartier. This one was commissioned by Mary Crewemilnes, Duchess of Roxburghe, in 1935.
4. Costume worn by Natalie Portman in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones The embroidered dress and cloak were created by Glasgow designer Trisha Biggar, who said around three-quarters of all Padme Amidala’s dresses “have got a touch of Scottish vintage on them somewhere”. (On loan from the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles.)
5. The largest remaining fragment of the Titanic Found floating in the Atlantic, the piece of detailed wooden panel is from an over-door in the first-class lounge of the liner that sank in 1912. (On loan from the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, Nova Scotia.)
