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 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.

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.

In summer, visit early mornings to avoid afternoon heat and crowds. Use shaded garden routes. If live music events run, head to quieter galleries until baby wakes.
