Located in an 18th century townhouse on Parnell Square, Hugh Lane Gallery provides an oasis of quiet inspiration in the heart of Dublin city. Founded in 1908 by Sir Hugh Lane, it is one of the city’s most significant cultural institutions.

The gallery has a diverse collection of works that create an experience like no other, especially for those seeking inspiration, mindfulness and consolation – something great art provides.

Collections

Hugh Lane Gallery takes you on a journey through the evolving practices of modern art. Discover a diverse and wonderful collection of works, from impressionism to expressionism, from beauty to provocation - all expertly curated in the unique setting of the world’s oldest public gallery of modern art.

Visitors can enjoy Ireland’s foremost public collection of contemporary art, which includes stained glass windows by Harry Clarke, a collection by Irish painter Sean Scully and works by Impressionists like Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Édouard Manet and Berthe Morisot.

Francis Bacon’s London Studio is also preserved as part of our permanent collection.

Conservation

The gallery also undertakes significant conservation projects to ensure that its diverse collection of works are in the best condition possible for visitors.

Research and analysis is carried out with a variety of technology and methods. We also interview living artists to understand the materials, techniques and processes they use so that we can create guidelines for preserving their work in the future.
