I recently took my first trip to the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin, and I was thoroughly impressed! I went to see the Andy Warhol exhibition, which exceeded my expectations. The Gallery went to tremendous efforts to showcase the works of this great artist. The building itself is elegant, well-preserved, clean, and hosts security/support staff throughout the building. An additional benefit upon this trip was seeing the perfectly restored art studio of Irish legend Francis Bacon, located within the building. Between the exhibitions, the Irish art work, and Bacon studio, a trip to the Hugh Lane Gallery is a highly recommend trip for anyone in Dublin. It requires paid-entry, it is wheelchair friendly throughout, and had a café, toliet facilities, shop, and a room to leave your bag and coats.

Got the fantastic opportunity of visiting Andy Warhol three times out exhibition at the Hugh Lane Gallery Wonderful space and a beautiful collection of iconic pieces, installations and collaborations. Certainly not to be missed if one gets the chance to.

What a discovery! Perfect sized museum with an astonishingly interesting collection of art. No entrance fee! Strong focus on Irish artists, such as Keats. My highlights: the original studio of Dublin-born Francis Bacon and 6 unfinished portraits by Bacon. And a room with several big paintings by Sean Scully. Impressive rooms, beautiful old building. Also nice: little cabinet with masterpieces of stained glass. Nice café.

In early February 2010, I went to the cafe at this gallery with my college and I paid 20 euros for the pastry and drink but I didn't get my change back. My mentor, one of the staff members and one of my fellow students said to me that I gave the lady €5 but I didn't give her a fiver. I just gave her €20. Then I told the lady that I gave her €20. She said to me that I didn't give her €20 and I said to her, "Yes I did." I wasn't lying 🤥. It must be my old mentor's or college's fault. I was really upset about it and my €20 just got robbed. It was the worst college trip I ever had. I am never coming back to the cafe at this gallery ever again! I'd say it is definitely the worst café in Dublin I've ever been to as well. Don't worry I still like the gallery itself. It's a fabulous gallery. I've been to this gallery about several times. I think I gave the gallery a four out of five stars.

The Francis Bacon room is just amazing, his studio is in the gallery 😍. I saw the Hara K Bell 🔔 beautiful. His art is conceptual, not my thing but hey, the bell was cool af 😎. A thing of beauty created from weapons of death. So it's deep and moving. I dislike those old paintings of the rich, the eyes 👀 freak me out. Its like Instagram in the 1500s except your filter was a fella with a paintbrush. Heaven forbid a female could be just as good, thank goodness for some changes. Anyway the gallery is cool. Go if you like that kinda stuff. Or if you've never been to an art gallery, it's a good start.

You really get the fact that Ireland takes arts and culture seriously. People need arts and culture so, it’s free admission, guiding, kind, guards, fantastic exposed. Even a nice cafe. The Francis Bacon exhibition - Don’t miss it! An experience you don’t want to live without.

I was impressed, I didn’t know that the gallery has Monet and Degas! Amazing. Nice gallery plus Francis Bacon studio and collection. I loved that. Has to be visited.

fav art museum in dublin! the permanent collection is small but engaging and easy to enjoy. they even had monet and manet pieces. also loved the we can can can exhibition, really cool and eye opening. the facilities were good, with a cafe shop and coat room downstairs. the only bummer is that the andy warhol exhibition is 20 euros, an inaccessible ticket price (even if it’s warhol..)

Art Gallery housing paintings belonging to the famous collector and bequeathed to Dublin city. There's a sizeable collection, featuring a large smattering of modern art, impressionist, nineteenth and twentieth century portraits. Also on show is a permanent exhibition on eccentric British painter Francis Bacon as well as temporary ones of present day artists!

Not there for years.good to see up grading of building. Hugh would have loved that! Cafe lovely.soup yummy and a wander around old friends.scully bacon etc. People fussed when the state paid 1 million for tatty artists studio!! I took inspiration and went home to make art in my own messy studio!!.

museum is not very huge but lots of wonderful pictures & they have brilliant classical music concerts on Sundays 12-1pm ... every time different professional performers...today we met a violinist Anna Cashell & harpist Aisling Ennis...had a wonderful hour!!! ( the entrance is free but tickets need to be prebooked)

Fantastic place to visit. No charge and you get to see some priceless art.

Nice gallery with modern art as well as impressionist masterpieces by Monet, Manet and Degas plus Francis Bacon studio and collection. There was also a temporary exhibition of children's paintings. It is a rather small gallery but the admission is free and it is definitely worth visiting it. Check the opening hours before coming in (I think it is closed on Mondays).

Museum with the right size to enjoy all the pieces. The collection has artwork from very famous painters plus a good selection of Irish painters. The highlight of the gallery is the workshop of Francis Bacon, and the multimedia content about his work and his life. Even if you are not a Bacon fan, you learn from his process as a painter.

Went to Hugh Lane Gallery for the first time yesterday and it is a gem of a gallery in Dublin. The Warhol exhibition which overlaps with Francis Bacon's Studio and collection was super. All the gallery staff are so lovely and obliging too. Definitely worth the trip.

Huge surprise. I could see few iconic imperessionist paintings including Degas and Monet, but biggest treat was workshop of Francis Bacon and his works.

Amazing art gallery with very good exhibitions. I simply adore it!

Beautiful gallery of art and a top notch cafe - a nice walk from central Dublin was well rewarded with this fantastic museum quality gallery filled with both Irish and international artists of great acclaim.

Free entry for public, good for people who understand art. Not suitable for families with small kids. Paid street parking available around the Rotunda hospital. Has toilets.

Lovely art gallery at top of Parnell Square. Interesting selection of paintings. The history of the gallery is also interesting. The original plan was to build it on a bridge across the Liffey. Some beautiful stained glass by Harry Clarke. Entry to the gallery is free, and you can make a voluntary donation of you wish. Currently it is compulsory to wear a mask while you are in the gallery.

Incredible space and collection. Francis Bacon studio is a gem. Must visit for any art lovers.

This really is a hidden gem of Dublin City. Beautiful work by Monet, Swanzy & Bacon. Stunning layout with a nice bookshop & lovely Cafe! Food is very nice & Fresh which was unexpected

how Bacon got any work done in that studio with everybody staring in at him through little windows is beyond me

The weekly concerts at noon here are incredible, expertly chosen performances in an incredibly important and historic building amongst some of the most notable paintings and sculptures of mainly European artists. The Francis Bacon studio is one of the key attractions here, completely unique.

Really beautiful free art museum in Dublin. Larger then expected with an extensive collection from Irish and international artists

The Hugh Lane Gallery Interesting information about Sir Edwin Lutyens architect of the original proposed Gallery in Dublin. Sir Edwin Lutyens designed the Cenotaph in London, the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme in Picardy France and the Irish National War Memorial Gardens in Dublin.

Love the building itself and the year round art exhibitions, Andy warhol exhibition is worth a visit. Disappointed by the gift shop, wanted to buy actual prints from the Andy Warhol exhibition but none were available

I visited the Hugh Lane Gallery while in Dublin for the Andy Warhol exhibition. Great exhibition, the staff was really friendly and helpful. There is a cloakroom (free of charge), a café and a gift shop.

I visited the Hugh Lane Gallery in November and took part in a lecture about Pop Art. It was amazing and they had such a brilliant Andy Warhol exhibition put together. If you are interested in arts and culture and would like to extend your horizons I definitely recommend a visit there (not to mention that most of their programs are free of charge). I would definitely go back if given the chance.

Very nice gallery free of charge and with lot of interesting paintins and art Also includes a small shop for mainly books. And a café which unfortunately was closed when we were there.

The best experience all of the art.is so nice all the ask is that you.Dont use your flash. You can take pictures. Enjoy put you bags In the locker.thank you

Nice place for a quick stop off. Really enjoyed the summer arts music going on outside when I was here. Gallery and exhibitions for me lacked a clear and coherent vision. Was a bit of a small hodgepodge for me of eras and styles

Work always beautifully presented. Some beautiful pieces with the pastel media and two other works made using gouache & watercolour. Very fine clear clean line subtle layer of colour. Absolute gems, I would also call them icons. Work by S. Solomen. The staff in the Gallery always very welcoming & always a feeling of cleanliness at every level. The lockers are a great addition. Keep up the good work.. The free Art Gallery in our country is so appreciated.

I really enjoyed the impressionist part of the gallery. There aren't many pictures, but some of them are so beautiful they make this place worth a visit. The reproduction of the studio of Francis Bacon is amazing, I loved it! The visit itself is quite short, it won't take you more than an hour, but I recommend you go if you're art lovers and have some spare time

Some beautiful works of art across the decades. Staff only to happy to help or answer questions. Free entry but there is a donation box at your own discretion.

A awe inspiring moment...need to do it again and study the different galleries in depth.. Attendants very knowledgeable..

What a wonderful museum. Irish artists (Francis bacon, jack yeats etc) plus some superb french impressionists. This Hugh lane had great taste and huge courage in buying the impressionists.

Was over due a visit to The gallery. I enjoyed the art on display plus seeing Francis Bacon's mews/workspace from his mews in London .

We stumbled across this museum because the Writers Museum was closed, and we're so happy that we did. Dublin was very lucky to have a patron like Hugh Lane. The modern art is stunning. So many surprises. And the building is architecturally stunning.

A very recommendable gallery. Just fitting size for a few hours visit. Free admission. Mostly modern art, but I do think the collection is enjoyable for every art lover. The stories behind Hugh Lane and the beautiful Charlemont House are interesting and worth learning. There is a café and a bookshop. The café is especially pleasant.

Francis Bacon studio very interesting and remarkable collection of impressionist paintings but the highlight has to be Harry Clarke’s stained glass work The Eve of St Agnes- soo beautiful, I was impressed!🎨

Nice for an hour or two to get a take of early 20th and late 19th century art in Ireland. Set in a beautiful building, lots of seating to rest and not nearly as busy as the national gallery. Interesting to see the connection in society at the time and what could have happened to the Hapenny Bridge! Interesting exhibition of Francis Bacon and his studio and some modern art. As someone who doesn't normally go to art exhibitions, it was most enjoyable. Admission free.

This was the first pub that we tried real Irish Guinness, the taste was so different from what we have in the UK, looks very old in history, nothing much has been altered, great place, very busy.

If you fancy modern art then its a nice place to visit. Not my cup of tea but it is free, friendly people, housed in a old mansion. Its worth a visit

Probably my favourite gallery in Dublin. Free entrance promotes culture to people across different classes. The building itself is quite nice: long corridors, lots of light and a few benches for visitors to sit and take some instants to observe portraits.

We came especially to see the Warhol exhibition. Some classic pieces, together with a decent sound of early sketches. Slightly spoiled by the chaotic gallery layout. We have no idea if we saw it all! Some fine impressionist works in the other galleries. Bacon's studio is almost as messy as mine

A stunning gallery with lots of excellent paintings. I visited the Andy Warhol exhibition which is extensive. The cafe serves good coffee, but the cakes are expensive.

In for the Andy Warhol exhibition and tour which was brilliant. Dublin modern art gallery, covering distinctive European artists from Bacon, Clark, Degas, Henry, Lavery, Monet, Manet, Scott, Shelly, Yeats. All on one floor, 2 mins from Parnell Luas. Cafe and toilets too. Also free.

We went to the Andy Warhol exhibition. The exhibition itself was very impressive, however, the staff was behaving more unpleasantly toward the end of the opening hours. Make a time reserve to visit to avoid this situation.

Brilliant place to spend 1-2hrs. It's free, too!

(Translated by Google) Hugh Lane's Dublin City Gallery has an exceptional history based on the revolutionary vision of Sir Hugh Lane himself. Hugh Lane hosted the first exhibition of Irish art in 1904 in London and continued to innovate, endowing the gallery with a unique and exceptional collection of contemporary art, including the first Impressionist paintings in any public collection in Britain and Ireland. Sir Hugh Lane presented the collection to the Dublin Corporation (now Dublin City Council) in 1908. He has greatly expanded the collection, focusing on the exceptional. The gallery continues to focus on contemporary art and excellence in Irish art practice. The gallery has acquired Francis Bacon's studio and archive - an exciting and unique resource attracting audiences, artists and historians from home and abroad. With its dynamic and critically acclaimed programming and world renowned collections, the Gallery plays a very important cultural role in Ireland. Registered charitable organization, it is part of Dublin City Council. The gallery is located at Charlemont House in Parnell Square North and is open to the public Tuesday through Sunday. Closed Monday. But the most interesting moment is the original by Claude Monet "Waterloo Bridge", the price of which is estimated at 35.5 million dollars. (Original) Дублинская городская галерея Хью Лейн имеет исключительную историю, основанную на революционном видении самого сэра Хью Лейна. Хью Лейн провел первую выставку ирландского искусства в 1904 году в Лондоне и продолжал вводить новшества, наделив галерею уникальной и исключительной коллекцией современного искусства, включая первые картины импрессионистов в любой публичной коллекции в Великобритании и Ирландии. Сэр Хью Лейн представил коллекцию Дублинской корпорации (ныне городской совет Дублина) в 1908 году. Он значительно расширил коллекцию, уделяя особое внимание исключительному. Галерея продолжает фокусироваться на современном искусстве и совершенстве в ирландской художественной практике. Галерея приобрела студию и архив Фрэнсиса Бэкона - захватывающий и уникальный ресурс, привлекающий аудиторию, художников и историков из дома и за рубежом. Благодаря своим динамичным и признанным критиками программам и всемирно известным коллекциям, Галерея играет очень важную культурную роль в Ирландии. Зарегистрированная благотворительная организация, является частью городского совета Дублина. Галерея расположена в Чарльмонт-Хаус на Парнелл-Сквер-Норт и открыта для публики со вторника по воскресенье. Выходной понедельник. Но самый интересный момент- это оригинал Клода Моне « Мост Ватерлоо» цена которой оценивается в 35,5 миллионов долларов.

Really gorgeous, cafe a bit over priced though

Very very interesting place!

Great place to go to better understand Irish appreciation for culture. I’d strongly suggest to read the descriptions in regards of the Lane heritage. Also pretty cool shop at the end. Quick to see but always nice to pop in for some art.

(Translated by Google) Nice collection of art. The study of f. Bacon (Original) Bella collezione d arte. Interessante lo studio di f. Bacon

Very enjoyable and safe and comfortable will be back

(Translated by Google) A very good collection (Original) Bardzo dobry kolekcja

Francis Bacon’s studio recreation is a whole experience

Beautiful

Fabulous collection of artwork that are predominantly Irish painters. But includes a small international mix of artists. Worth a visit, especially if you have a few hours to browse, it includes wheelchair access throughout. The architectural charm is breathtaking which adds to the experience. I personally enjoyed the Stain Glass room & the Sean Scully room.

Will be great once they finish rehabbing the art work. With less than a third of the galleries opened we still hard a great time. Seeing the studio of Francis Bacon was interesting.

Nice museum white interesting paintings. That we are not used to see. The Bacon's studio is incredible

Nice place to visit, very clean and staff is also good

It was quite a surprise. Much bigger than I thought and lot of information on Sir Hugh Lane including portraits. A variety of paintings including ones by Monet. They also have a lovely coffee shop with a good menu. Worth a visit

Great place to go...it has some really beautiful paintings & stained glass. Great staff..Easy location. Please note all Museums & Galleries are currently closed March 14, 2020 so please visit the Hugh Lane website for updates

Excellent show on Hugh Lane. Wonderful Seán Scilly room. Very good café.

Really interesting place to visit, lovely cafe on site. An oasis in the city

Fantastic place, one of the most beautiful architecture than I saw in dublin museums

Free Entry. Great art from Monet, Manet, Degas and even including works by Francis Bacon inuding his actual studio he painted in

Very interesting!

Lose yourself in genius and enjoy the coffeeshop in the basement. I like the stained glass exhibition

It was great to visit after previous 'Lockdown'. As always, very interesting works. Looking forward to seeing The Renoir in the future.

Doors closed, though Covid regulations require an adequate ventilation. It is good to preserve paintings, but what about people's health? Who is going to appreciate the art if we are all dead?

Compact and spectacular gallery. Varied collection with an emphasis on XIX century. The Francis Bacon study is very interesting.

Beautifully presented... Francis bacon studio is worthy of a visit

Excellent gallery. Free admission. Do miss it if you are in Dublin.

(Translated by Google) Interesting pictures, free entry and original painting studio (Original) Interessante Bilder, kostenloser Eintritt und original vorhandenes Maleratelier

Interesting collection of Irish and international art and of course has the Bacon studio. Well worth constant revisits

Interesting
