Museum bosses marked the milestone with a series of drone images of the building designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma.

V&A Dundee director Philip Long said: "We are thrilled to be preparing to launch the first dedicated design museum in Scotland, and to reveal a remarkable new piece of architecture by Kengo Kuma.
