Irish Musem of Modern Art Review

Such a tranquil and peaceful place nestled quietly in a corner of Dublin that few travellers will as far as.

Great museum which has a long history as hospital for army verterians before falling into disrepair. A section of the museum charts it's history with interactive displays and explains how the building was restored to become the Irish Museum of Modern Art. As well as changing art exhibitions the building has a cafe, toilets and extensive gardens which are well worth exploring.

Very little modern art in a Wonderful big ex-hospital building. Do not waste your time going.

The building itself was beautiful and there was a wedding going on at the time which was nice to see, however I wasn't blown away by the selection of modern art. A few interesting video pieces around the museum though.

I adored IMMA! The place was really beautiful ! I was here to see the desire exhibition.
The staff was helpful and here to answer your questions.
Also, the shop offered a huge variety of products in relation with the place and the exhibition.

I will definitely go back for the next exhibition!

Beautiful building & not too crowded. Regular exhibits are free but special exhibitions have a fee. We saw the special Freud Exhibition & it was great. The cafe is a great pace to grab a snack/coffee/tea or a full meal (though not cheap).

Of greater interest to him are the Dublin prisons, which are well worth a visit.

Weird food in cafe. Seems designed to suit staff not customers. Rest rooms good. Parking good. Bit hard to find on sat nav. Exhibitions hit and miss

Very large beautiful building, but there are works of art in only a few spaces. The works that are hanging there are disappointing. To me it seemed more like hobby work than art. The sculpture garden is also limited. Glad that the entry was free.

Of course, it's hard to complain when the place is free, but I generally don't find modern art particularly impressive.

Very helpful staff, interesting exhibits and guided tours. Thank you!

Museum of modern art. Even if it is not your cup of tea just pay a visit. Exhibitions chang e frequently and they always have some Irish works. Garden is marvelous and cafe is not half bad either. Staff is friendly and competent. And perhaps best of all it is free

Not good with visitors tour guides....not options given.....not even week in advance

Nice museum, beautiful grounds. Generally only 2 free and 1 paid exhibit at a time afaik. Would be 5 star if it was larger

Not so special. The free part of the musuem was not so interesting as i had hoped it could be

Fantastic exhibitions, great gardens and nice to stroll through on the way to Kilmainham Gaol.

Forbidden Fruit festival was on and it was great craic.

A beautiful space! both in terms of the architecture of the building and artpieces!! Most of the exhibitions are free, so definitely worth a go. Make sure you visit the immaculately well kept and designed maze garden next to the Museum. The Museum is housing the collection by Derek Jarman until end of February 2020.

This is just a wonderful place , full of history and fine pieces of sculptures and beautiful gardens . It's a perfect day out for a walk or slow stroll taking in your environment around you . Then you enter the museum there the visual delights of world artists and sculptors
Works shown through out the museum.
Not to forget a fine coffee in the down stairs cafe.

Great choice of food and cakes. Delicious coffee. Definitely recommend

Lovely food and really good service, the place itself it's also amazing

Open your mind to the amazing exhibitions. Especially the Lucien Fraud art wow. There are many thought provoking pieces to ponder on

A must see when in Dublin. Its tremendous. 5 stars.

Well presented exhibitions in one of Dublin's most impressive old buildings. Leaflets give helpful background in plain language.

Always interesting exhibitions, lovely setting, and great food in the restaurant

This is definitely worth a visit it's old and new combined together the building itself is even just worth a visit

Nice museum, most of the exhibits are free to enter. Staff were really friendly, good to pop into if you have a free hour or two in Dublin.

Lovely gallery, with amazing exhbitions. Gardens and grounds also worth a wander around

Really nice and free museum for art lovers interesting building and promenade as well, for a nice afternoon walk.

It is a little bit difficult to find this museum, but it worth it. Amazin buildings and great modern art exhibitions. Tickets for students were free of charge.

Yes the grounds are quite nice and there s a cafe too but considering this is Ireland s most well known art museum, I expected more. It s a small museum and the permament exhibition was not even on display (most of it being in storage) leaving 3 temporary exhibitions for which you have to pay entry, so the IMMA is not free entry . The variety of art and range of artists that were being shown leaves something to be desired. First things first, it needs to have a free, well-curated display of its permanent collection. Is that too much to ask for?

The place is massive and there are 3 rooms. The exhibition Protest! about Derek Jarman's work was ongoing. I was so glad to discover such interesting work!

It was great.A very interesting exhibition of Jack B Yeats and Lucien Freud examining the interconnections between them .

You can take a free tour of what to expect in the actual exhibit so you don't have to pay if it's not your kind of thing

Close to the Guinness factory about 25 minutes walking through the liberties neighborhood.

Nice place to visit and see the gardens if it's a nice day, wouldn't recommend the art.

We walked through on our way to the Guinness factory

Skip this place for everything except the architecture, it's worth a look.

I visit often with my baby and pram. The museum is pram friendly, and there is a lovely coffee shop and children's play area to visit afterwards!

Great exhibitions, lovely little gift shop and fabulous cafe.

Very underrated. Would reccomend visiting the IMMA to anyone visiting Dublin. If you don't really like art, visit for the building and its gardens. It's free to see the amazing exhibitions, except for the Freud exhibition which is 8 euros(free for students). This part of the museum is only worth visiting if you are a fan of his types of art(mainly portrets).

Visit! It's really good.

Amazing place - but artwork just not my cup of tea!

A piece of Irish history in lush greenery. The Museum of Modern Art is simply breathtaking.

Super cool!
Exposition, space, store, cafe...
It's a really nice place for spend some time!

Been here loads of times. Great exhibitons, and excellent spaces for them. There are a few different wings usually home to a few different exhibitions. Friendly staff. Family friendly. It's free. It's Big. It's free. Beautiful building, great for architecture lovers. And great massive grounds to walk your pup, hedge maze, near the luas line. Oh and did I mention it was free?!

I was expecting something more but beautiful. Contemporary art

Just a place you have to visit if you're in the area, the place is amazing

Enjoyed the history of the building : the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.

Nice building and gardens. However, the exibition was far from inspiring to me. I would recommend it for a quick walk after your visit to the nearby jail on a sunny day.

The building is quite beautiful. Was not a big fan of the exhibits. Perhaps I simply did not "get" the artists.

Entrance to the museum is free. You will have to pay for the entrance to the museum itself.

I would advise you to include this place in your walk. There is nothing special to look at if you do not visit the museum, but taking a walk along the long alley that leads to the museum is a very nice and pleasant experience. Especially along the way, along the alley, funny signs and interesting exhibits are located.

Beautiful old building interesting exhibits also free admission

Wonderful place, in the middle of a Park. Very nice to just take a walk around it.

This is a great place to get closer to contemporary art
