The Irish Museum of Modern Art is one of the most important museums in Dublin and the whole of Ireland. Also known as the IMMA, the Museum of Modern Art is located in the heart of the city, and boasts an important collection of contemporary art dating from after 1940. Like most museums in Ireland, it’s free to visit: so why deprive yourself?
The Irish Museum of Modern Art opened in May 1991 in the former Royal Hospital in Kilmainham, Dublin. Its aim is simple: to purchase and exhibit contemporary works of all kinds, all dating from after the Second World War, in order to present a representative collection of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Most of the works are by living Irish artists, who are particularly appreciated in the contemporary art world. The result is beautiful, innovative, off-the-beaten-track work in the name of artistic creativity.
The museum boasts a high-quality permanent collection of paintings, sculptures and other art installations. The exhibition is rather playful, and will be of interest to young and old, novices and art lovers alike. Allow a good hour and a half for the tour…
The museum also organizes cyclical temporary exhibitions featuring specific artists and artistic movements.
The museum has a coffe shop and a souvenir store where you can buy the catalog of the permanent exhibition or other books on contemporary art…
