The attraction says the Mary Quant exhibition is the first international retrospective on the iconic British designer.
It will run until January 17, with tickets now on sale. The exhibition will be followed by Night Fever: Designing Club Culture from March 27 to September 5.
Turner Prize-winning architecture collective Assemble will begin work at V&A Dundee on re-opening day on Making Room, a project with Dundee Central Library, local school pupils and the museum’s Young People’s Collective.

Making Room will take inspiration from historic buildings in Dundee to produce a new interior room that will be built at the museum before being moved to Dundee Central Library, where it will function as an area for digital learning and making for the city.
The museum has also curated a new exhibition in response to the coronavirus pandemic, looking at how designers responded. Other design projects will be shown across the museum.
All visitors will need to book free tickets to enter V&A Dundee, as part of steps to keep visitors safe and to ensure physical distancing.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
