This museum is very different from the other Irish Museum near Trinity. It is also free. Read ahead or call about what is being exhibited to see if you are interested. The exhibit at the time we were there was interesting, but not compelling. We had read about artists in their collection but they were not on exhibit at the time.
The permanent collection will be on exhibit next year. So it is a work in progress.
It is located off the beaten track and may be difficult to get a taxi from there. However, there happened to be one dropping off someone as we left! The BigBus hop on hop off bus stops there and we should have gone when we were on that bus. So keep that in mind.
