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 stunnin...

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.

The current exhibition of Sam Gilliam’s work...

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.

A museum with very interesting art. When we arrived they were teaching traditional Irish dance classes in pairs, very nice. There is a cafeteria and a restaurant that has very tasty food and delicious drinks. Inside the galleries you can find very curious and interesting modern works of art. Highly recommended to go with your family, friends or alone. I'm sure you'll find new friends there.

The building is surrounded by gardens and green spaces, which are also worth a look. The building itself is architecturally interestin...
