With big nights-out currently feeling like a relic, it s maybe fitting that the history of club culture is being celebrated at the newly-reopened V&A Dundee.
Certainly, the irony of being able to visit an exhibition on nightclubs, but not set foot in one itself is not lost.
But as the museum s director Leonie Bell points out, Night Fever was planned pre-Covid and now packs an added emotional punch. It is an exhibition that there is a sense of excitement and anticipation around, because it takes people back to pre-Covid life, she said.
Last dance? Not likely as new V&A exhibition highlights how club culture is and always has been so important to Scots

The walkway will be in William Gardiner Square, next to The Overgate Centre.
Dundee Music Hall of Fame is the idea of Jake McDonough, chairman of Dundee Music History Group, a collective of passionate music lovers based in the city.
Jake’s proposals for the land at William Gardiner Square include paving slabs inscribed with the names of Dundee’s musical greats.
This music-themed pavement will lead visitors on a journey into a specially designed seating area where a Musical Heritage experience, accessed via a digital interactive app, will inform and entertain.
Talks are also under way with Bonnie Dundee. A music-themed floral and planting scheme is one of the ideas being considered.
