We all know that the Library holds books but you may not know that the University Museum Services has many unique and important collections relating to reading and the happiness and inspiration it can bring. During the National Year of Reading we want to highlight just a few of these.
We hold one of the country’s most significant collections of artists’ books, featuring works by leading UK and international artists, as well as books by DJCAD staff and students.
The Museum has Scotland’s only public collection of original comics art, from local DC Thomson favourites to pages from Marvel and DC comics, Japanese manga and more.
We also hold a wide range of text-based art, including collaborations between artists and poets, cartoons and book illustrations and artworks inspired by literature.
You can search all the museum collections via https://museumsearch.dundee.ac.uk/ and contact museum@dundee.ac.uk to make an appointment to visit.
