Lovely museum. It’s free admission and close to the red line luas. I really enjoyed the exhibition here, nice artwork, very cool shop and beautiful garden.
Beautiful location at the edge of the city centre. The exhibitions were fabulous. There is even a creativity centre for kids to work near reception. The basement has a very nice restaurant. Would recommend for a visit to both the gallery and the grounds
A gem of place for modern art lovers, set in a pristine 17th cent Royal Hospital building which has its own history and tales to tell in the Hospital history section . . The guided tour is detail and aligned to the guides interests and views which is quite unique. The viewpoints and perspectives to each art form is to its dot for few, while shallow for some, and immense for others. The stunning outdoor walled gardens ,the bell which is used in the mezzanine, the underground alleys of the hospital building, curated art works from renowned Irish & intl artists, the additonal artform/cloth works in the external building , Huge projection screen for events, sculpture and what not .Perfect place for modern art lovers
Great museum which I will miss very much. I was very lucky and privileged to live beside the museum for the past 19 years and tried to visit it as often as I could. Some excellent exhibitions through the years, the Dorothy Cross retrospective in particular comes to mind. The comparative exhibition of Jack B Yeats and Lucien Freud is another fond memory. The current exhibition of Sam Gilliam’s work is highly recommended. There are other artists whose names fail me now but I will give a mention later. I also loved walking around the grounds of the museum. It’s a pity that the view has been somewhat diminished by all the development that’s going up but it’s still to be enjoyed. The courtyard has its own special atmosphere, haunting but peaceful.
I am not a big fan of modern art, but I absolutely loved this place. Yes, I rolled my eyes at the piles of dirt and bricks. I was confused as to whether the technical issue piece was art or an actual broken piece. However, in amongst that were some striking pieces. The building is surrounded by gardens and green spaces, which are also worth a look. The building itself is architecturally interesting and worth a walk around. Staff were welcoming and helpful. There is free wifi, a nice souvenir shop and a cafe. Best of all, entry was totally free. There are toilets, and these were clean. The building is fully wheelchair accessible. There are disabled toilets.
