Artistic Installations
Dundee’s urban landscape is defined by public art that honors its industrial and creative history. This collection features the bronze Lemmings statues, celebrating the city's video game heritage, alongside maritime-themed works like the stainless steel Humpback Whale and the historic Whalebone Gate in Baxter Park. Monuments dedicated to the Tay bridges provide historical context to the city's engineering feats, while large-scale murals on tenement gables highlight Dundee's ongoing commitment to street art and contemporary design.
