The inside story
A small museum with a big reputation, the National Gallery of Ireland is one of Dublin’s most popular attractions. And it’s more than just a place to visit on a rainy day. It is located next to the Irish parliament in the elegant Georgian period Merrion Square, opposite the statue of Oscar Wilde. There’s an eye-catching collection of important works by Irish artists such as Jack B. Yeats, William Orpen and Mainie Jellett as well as international masters of great renown – Caravaggio, Picasso, El Greco, Rembrandt, Velazquez and Degas, among others. Caravaggio’s The Taking of Christ, one of the star attractions, was discovered in the dining room of a nearby home for priests in 1990. The gallery also puts on an annual display of watercolours by J.M.W. Turner. Because of the fragility of the paintings, they go on view in January only, when natural light is most limited.
