Queen Elizabeth II by Cecil Beaton
Our first partnership exhibition with the V&A opened on 30 September. It is an exhibition about the Queen and the Royal Family by famous photographer Cecil Beaton and is the first of a series of exhibitions leading to the opening of the brand new V&A at Dundee.
Our linked Creative Learning Programmes have captured the imagination of School pupils across the city…
- A group of S4’s from St Johns, and S2’s from Braeview (through the 4xAAAA’s project) have created a series of portrait masterpieces inspired by iconic images
- a group of S5 and S6’s from across the city are participating in a youth arts portrait project on Thursday evenings working with 2 professional artists
- Cultural Champions from city Primary Schools came along to the exhibition preview for a VIP glimpse of the exhibition
- and a group of S3’s from Menzieshill High were lucky enough to meet Lorraine Kelly who officially opened the exhibition!

Regular Creative Learning programmes
The McManus offers a range of opportunities to Early Years, Primary and Secondary School groups. We are happy to discuss the interests of particular groups and encourage Teachers and Support staff to contact us in advance of visit. We advise Schools to book as far in advance as possible to ensure the preferred slot is available.
Linking with the Curriculum for Excellence, our current menu our menu of tours, hands on sessions, creative workshops and downloadable resources can be found in the Creative Learning section at
Look out for CPD opportunities – we hope to consult with Teachers soon about making the best use of our Collections Unit in Barrack Street to utilise the thousands of objects not on display and get behind the scenes to see the work done by curators and conservators…
