The internationally significant RRS Discovery was built in Dundee for the 1901-4 British National Antarctic Expedition led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott.

Discovery Point interprets the history of the ship and the men who served on her. The Discovery and the associated polar collections are a Recognised Collection of National Significance and include scientific specimens and instruments, paintings, photographs, personalia, food rations and clothing.

The Cafe Gallery houses a changing programme of art, photographic and historical exhibitions.
