Very nice surroundings, very well maintained. Very interesting artwork both inside and out in the grounds. Loads of car parking space,make sure you pay on parking app or with coins only in car park, cars clamped when I was coming out
What a beautiful place! I went to assist the Earth Rising festival at the Museum and I discovered these gorgeous gardens, they are really well maintained, clean, a real pleasure to the senses. I recommend go when it's quiet and you will feel you're not in the middle of a city, but in a castle far away.. gorgeous, I will go again soon.
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.
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.
Well worth a visit. The exhibits are impressive, featuring primarily (but not exclusively) Irish artists. Admission is free. Definitely take the guided tour – it’s a must!
