Customer Reviews
Visiting the National Gallery was one of the highlights of my trip to Dublin. First of all, it's free. So even if you end up spending only an hour or so because it is not your thing; you didn't have to pay. There are many services available in the museum such as large and spacious toilets, a free cloakroom and lockers, a café and a wonderful giftshop with a wide arrange of quality gifts. The museum was much larger then I anticipated. I must admit I got lost a few times because the layout is a bit confusing but that was also part of the fun, just wandering around and exploring. They have a wonderful collection, I think there is something there for everyone to enjoy. To my suprise a lot of works from Dutch painters such as Vermeer, Van Gogh, Rembrandt and Steen. As a Dutch person that was fun to see. Staff was super friendly, I had a long chat with one of the staff about the collection and different paintings. I went there on a friday morning right when it opened so it was nice and quiet and the staffmember had all the time to talk. I had a wonderful time and will absolutely put this on my itinerary again for a future trip.
I absolutely loved my visit to the National Gallery of Ireland! It’s such a beautiful and peaceful place, right in the heart of Dublin. The building itself is stunning — bright, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. You can easily spend several hours wandering through the different wings, and every room feels inviting and well-curated. The collection is impressive, with a wonderful mix of Irish and European art. I especially enjoyed the Irish works — it was fascinating to see how the country’s history and culture come through in the paintings. There are also well-known pieces by artists like Vermeer, Caravaggio, and Monet, which was an amazing surprise. Each section has clear descriptions that make it easy to understand the stories and context behind the artworks, even for someone who isn’t an art expert. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the gallery felt very calm and well-organized. Admission was free, which made it even better, but it’s the kind of place I’d happily pay to visit. There’s also a lovely gift shop and a nice café where you can relax after exploring. Overall, it’s a must-visit for anyone spending time in Dublin — whether you’re an art lover or just looking for a peaceful, inspiring experience. I left feeling refreshed and grateful that such a wonderful gallery is open to the public. Highly recommend!
I am in awe. This gallery is so thoughtfully designed, complete with a cloakroom that has password-protected cubicles for belongings—no money required. There is also a creative space where visitors can sit down and explore their own artistic talents. It was a delight to see the works on display at the board. The gift shop was well stocked as well, with many intriguing titles on the book racks. Sadly, due to time constraints, I could not browse them more closely. And the collection itself? Simply stunning. This was my first visit, but I sincerely hope it will not be my last. A trip to Dublin could be justified solely for the chance to spend a leisurely afternoon in this beautifully curated gallery, which is also free to the public. There is so much to learn here, with descriptions that are highly informative. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply someone who is easily moved by visual beauty, this place is a must-visit in Dublin.
