The gallery has a good art collection and the entrance is absolutely free. The collection with "recent art" was small, but I recommend it if you want to see some Picasso, Renoir and Monet paintings without paying anything. In the upper floors the art was mainly from the 1600s-1800s and religiously themed, which was interesting as well. If you find yourself without any plans in your vacation in Dublin, visiting this gallery it's definitely an interesting option to spend your time.
I photographed a wedding in the National Gallery in November 2023. The venue speaks for itself, we had a wonderful time strolling from room to room, visiting the couples favourite paintings. It was a beautiful way to spend a wedding day. The staff were amazing and super kind to the couple.
A very beautiful and elegant art gallery, with free entrance. It has a classical gallery setup without much innovation, but I definitely appreciate the way it's curated and the focus on women. Definitely recommend a visit.

Here you can enjoy an extensive collection of not only Irish art, but also works from abroad. Pieces are curated by historical periods with appreciation of the interactions and friendships between artists from different European countries instead of being divided by national schools.
Although you won't get lost if you follow one direction, it's best to pick a gallery map from the reception (or see it online) to track your progress into the building.
Members of staff were very nice and welcoming. It is a free experience and trully rewarding. Lockers available.

This is the place for art lovers in Dublin. Admission is free which is a big plus. It's a reasonably sized art museum but still big enough to justify multiple visits. The collection has a few major works like the Caravaggio and the Vermeer, but also puts a lot of focus on Irish artists. If you can plan your visit around the times that "meeting on the Turret Stairs" is on display I would recommend it.
If you like art, this is the place! Free entrance, a full collection from different centuries, very well organised and a lovely staff. You can spend hours exploring the museum, but you can also see everything (not so deeply) in one hour and a half, more or less.
I had an absolutely enchanting experience at the National Gallery of Ireland. From the moment I stepped through its historic doors, I was transported into a world of artistry and culture. The collection of masterpieces is awe-inspiring, showcasing the rich tapestry of human creativity.
What I truly appreciated was the thoughtfully curated exhibits that allowed me to explore different eras and styles of art. The attention to detail and the passion for preserving and sharing these works shone through. The staff was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely enthusiastic about helping visitors connect with the art.
The architecture of the gallery itself is a work of art, and the tranquil ambiance made it a perfect place for contemplation and inspiration. I could have spent hours, if not days, wandering through the halls, soaking in the beauty of each painting and sculpture.
