Verdant Works is another great museum in Dundee depicting the history of the Jute mills. Set aside an hour or two to meander through and listen to all of the stories. They’ve really captured the essence.
Our favorite part was in the upstairs, second half showing a bit of the life in the home. Loved it.
This and Discovery Point & RRS Discovery go hand in hand. You can buy a ticket for both at either location.
If you’re visiting or live here you really can’t go wrong with checking out these two museums.

Verdant Works is a jute textile museum and is a tale of two cities, both of them Dundee. For thousands in the 19^th century it was a city of long working hours, poor pay and ill-health. For the privileged few it was a city of opportunity and wealth. At Verdant Works the rattle and roar of the original restored machinery, the juteopolis film show and computer displays transport you back over 100 years to an era when jute was king and Dundee was its realm.
