Festivalgoers who were at this year's Radio 1 Big Weekend in Dundee have shared their memories as part of a new exhibition at the city's V&A Museum.

Organisers said the Big Weekend Experience would take a "deep dive" into the event, which was held in May.

The show will include memorabilia, photos and items from the festival donated by music fans.

Radio 1 and V&A Dundee's learning team have also created a virtual version of the exhibition.

The exhibition's audio guide, hosted by DJs Greg James and Arielle Free, will be available on BBC Sounds from 1 December.

Arielle Free will broadcast her show live from Dundee on 27 November.

V&A Dundee director Leonie Bell said: "This is set to be an uplifting and joyful exhibition, co-created in real time with festivalgoers and listeners of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show.

"We hope it will feel real, relevant, and reflective of this special cultural experience that so many shared."

The exhibition runs at V&A Dundee from 1 December to 7 January.
