Printer-friendly versionCovid-19 Update from Leisure & Culture Dundee.
Following the latest announcement from the Scottish Government to significantly tighten protections against Covid-19, mainland Scotland will be moving into Level 4 from 26 December 2020 for an initial three-week period.
As a result, the difficult decision has been taken to close all Leisure & Culture Dundee venues, activities and events temporarily from the planned closure on 24 December 2020 until at least 31 January 2021.
This includes The McManus: Dundee's Art Gallery & Museum.
