The story of jute and Dundee are inseparable. The industry employed 50,000 people in the city at its peak and supplied much of the world's demand for jute goods.
Verdant Works takes you on a tour of the trade, from its beginnings in the Indian sub-continent to the end product in all its myriad forms. Feel what it was like to work here a century ago and hear the workers' tales as they confide their secrets and tell you their hopes, dreams and fears.
Original working machinery, computer displays & hands-on interactives. Juteopolis film show and social history gallery.
