Accommodations in Dundee near Discovery Point (Dundee, United Kingdom)
Discovery Point (Dundee, United Kingdom)
The Discovery Point consists of the modern rotunda of the Discovery Point and the RRS Discovery itself, moored by the side of the building and covered by the same entrance ticket. The vast bulk of the Discovery Point displays are concerned with the vessel itself and with the British National Antarctic Expedition for which Discovery was built and which took place between 1901 and 1904. The displays combine modern multimedia and hands-on displays with more old-fashioned display-case-based parts as well as life-size-models of people and objects. The history of the Discovery post-Scott expedition is also covered. The ship itself is moored in a purpose-built dock and open to visitors with additional displays. In addition to the main museum, there is a gift shop and a cafe.
