Verdant Works is a fascinating museum located in Dundee, focusing on the history and heritage of the jute industry, which significantly shaped the city's industrial development. Visitors will find a wealth of information about the origins and various uses of jute. The museum features engaging exhibits that provide insights into working conditions, machinery, and the impact of the jute industry on the local community. A highlight of the visit is often the opportunity to meet knowledgeable volunteers, such as a vibrant Dundee lady in her 80s, who shares personal stories and demonstrates the machines used in the mills. The atmosphere is pleasant, with helpful and friendly staff, and there is a nice café and shop on site. Although there is an admission fee, which is £10.50 for concessions and £14 for adults, children can enter for free. Visitors can easily spend hours exploring the exhibits and enjoying the surroundings, making Verdant Works a must-visit for anyone interested in the textile industry and Dundee's industrial heritage.
