About This AttractionSuggest an Edit

This fascinating museum tracks the rise and fall of the material jute and its place in the city of Dundee. Over 100 years ago jute was the king of materials and here you will see original restored machinery that was used to create tents, sandbags, parachutes and much more. Kids can find out what it was like to have worked in a Dundee mill all those years ago, where many children were employed in extremely poor working conditions. There is plenty of multimedia technology and hands-on activities to keep the whole family entertained.
