Dundee's Art College dates back much earlier than the founding of Duncan of Jordanstone College on Perth Road in 1953. It began as part of the Technical Institute opened in 1888, though moves had first been made to set up an art school in the 1850s. The Technical Institute was built on Small's Wynd and shared facilities with the newly-established University College Dundee. In 1892 Thomas Delgaty Dunn became the first full-time art master, and the College today regards this as its date of foundation. By 1905 the building was becoming seriously overcrowded, and money was raised to move to new premises on Bell Street. The building was completed in 1911, and was renamed the Dundee Technical College & School of Art. In 1909 James Duncan of Jordanstone bequeathed £60,000 towards founding an independent art school in Dundee. Various problems meant that it was not until the 1930s that plans were finalised for a new College on Perth Road. The war then caused further delays and Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design was opened in 1953, though it was not until 1975 that it became completely independent of the Technical College. In 1994 the College became a Faculty of the University of Dundee, and the College Art Collection became part of the University Museum Collections.
