Irish Musem of Modern Art Review

Always enjoy visits. Free entry to most exhibitions. Lovely grounds.

Set in a gorgeous location, price is cheap enough for the two exhibitions. Some of yhe art really makes no sense and there's not much info on each item but all round good fun. Not for kids.

Really enjoyed our family experience at the Grace Weir exhibition. The kids had a ball experimenting with light and colour and really enjoyed themselves. Free of charge too which is a rare find!

Nice building.but charging 8 a head in is way too much!!!.. does it not state in the constitution that museum entry is to be free???

Interesting building, poor exhibition ... in my opinion, of course.

beautiful place- dissappointing inside, advertise major pieces BUT "not on display' ...but can see lunch tables stacked, in a beautiful long hall......

Wonderful experience. The special collection on Lucien Freud is amazing. Free entry for students for this exhibition. All welcome for the rest of the museum. If you want to really enjoy it, I encourage you to take at least 4 h to spend there. The shop has very cool useful things, particularly if you are a passionate of cats, unicorns, books and a bit of magic. Come and look for the famous Drummer of Barry Flanagan.

Great place to visit, and I honestly got far too excited about vonolels gravestone

Beautiful art in a very atmospheric space and location, mixing the past with the contemporary

This "art" collection is not very good. I found myself questioning if this was a satire on contemporary art, but no, its very seriously bad.

a beautiful museum, a must visit in Dublin if you adore art

Awesome! It's free with a collection that will take you ~1 hour to look at. Gardens around are splendid as well as the building itself! A must-see, maybe forgotten by most tourists!

Nice exhibition. Free for students. Some exhibits were closed when I was there so it was a very quick visit. Maybe 15/20 minutes for the permanent exhibition in the main building.

Beautiful lush grounds, didn't visit art exhibit. :(

Our 'go to' family trip! Great for a stroll around the gallery, lovely cafe and kids love the walled garden adventures.

The museum is closed on Mondays, except Bank Holidays.

Confusing layout with poor direction. The actual pieces and exhibitions on display are nice but mostly an acquired taste. It's not for everyone. Good day out though and nice gardens around. You will have to pay for parking too.

Picturesque museum just on the outskirts of the city centre. There are often very interesting exhibitions on display. They could provide a bit more reading material alongside the displays to help the audience to connect with the exhibitions more. The grounds are beautiful to walk around. The architecture and the gardens are magnificent. It is located near Hueston station and you can get a bus or luas to it.

Far from the center, very small exposure. Maybe I missed the period

The grounds are beautiful and well worth a visit lots to see here

Fantastic, exhibitions arranged according to contemporary museology, spaces with well-treated museological routes and interactivity
Well maintained fixed collection in suitable rooms
Wonderful historic garden and well-restored buildings.

Interesting modern art museum with a semi-permansnt Lucien Freud exhibition and rotating exhibitions in the main building.

Jarman exhibition is really interesting but I always come away questioning the space. It really is not a suitable space for exhibiting modern art. The building the Freud exhibition is in is basically a house!!! Get the government spending and move to something more suitable

Very nice museum in a building that already alone is worth the detours. Several artists and projects exhibit and all almost entirely for free. Go there without hesitation.

Interesting building!
I did not find exhibitions very appealing!

This place is nice, it's a quiet place in Dublin. It is also suitable for families to walk in.

Beautiful structure with large spaces and good exposure. Interesting!

Great location - the grounds are beautiful; worth visiting on their own. The exhibitions are always great.

Beautifull place, amazing gardens . Interesting exibitions, also you can look books with previous exibitions.

Always something stimulating at IMMA, if contemporary art isn't enough to interest you, unlikely I know, the building itself & the grounds are worth a visit. Excellent cafe & shop.

There's just not enough in the exhibition to make a visit worthwhile, unless there's something specific you want to see. Lovely building though.

Nice people at the front desk, a great gift shop and next to free exhibition can pay me here and there for certain exhibitions. As a student, all exhibitions are free.



For my visit, there were unfortunately no exhibitions for my taste, but there you should just keep your eyes open!

Nothing to see. Come here if you really don't have anything to do.

In this museum you can see many modern art and part of them are of free admission. You may think that modern art is difficult for us to understand thoroughly, but every piece here is well explained.

Quirky art that will always find something to appeal to anyone - even non art lovers

Unfortunately, a wing of the museum is under construction and therefore not accessible. It's worth the trip to the cafeteria!

Well worth the visit to view the buildings which incorporate the art.

I loved it, and above free admission. The entrance is a walk through a beautiful garden

A beautiful green space and stone building that offers history and future all in 1 space.
Upside: the garden is breath taxingly beautiful and free to the public!
Downside: Museum is limited hours and closed on Mondays.

A must see just outside of the city centre. The gallery is an ex-hospital for soldiers and the guided tour is worth waiting for. Beautiful grounds also.

If you're in the area, I would definitely recommend spending some time in the museum's quiet garden galleries, where modern art sculptures meet the neatly trimmed hedges of nature. The tranquil location is juxtaposed nicely against a backdrop of urbanization, truly making you feel like you've escaped the busy city for greener grass.

The art that needs to be explained not think it's art

An afternoon spent exploring the colorful works of Mary Swanzy at IMMA's current exhibit "Voyages"

Cool building but the art is pretty uninspiring (sorry!)

Even though its housed in a building that hundreds of years old, IMMA was only established in the early 1990s. Since then it's helped promote Irish and international artists and hosted several notable exhibitions: the Frida Kahlo was particularly memorable. The ground are often used for festivals and shows, particularly around the Fringe and St Patrick's day festivals. It's worth checking to see what's on before heading over.

The museum is lovely and spacious and I like how it is set out.

Not the biggest fan of this art museum over others. There were some pretty good exhibits but many were not as good as I expected. Depends on when you go.

From the origin of Irish whiskey to the present day. Tasting at the end of the visit of 3 or 4 whiskey depending on the package chosen. The guide has adapted to our level of English

I loved the museum. The art is amazing and the workers are sooo nice.

Great space, well used for the exhibitions. Some really thought provoking work, well worth seeing

I Love this park! Looking forward to visiting the museum

Strangely confusing to navigate, considering the narrow paths to the exhibit, but once you're where you want to be the museum curation is first rate.

Attended a wedding here...great venue and lovely surroundings.

Super cool building and I visited only the 3 main free collection there were very different and interesting

Beautiful gardens and walkways, was able to buy a light lunch and coffee at the Hungry dog in the main square. Toilet facilities were also available. The main building is closed to the public because of Covid 19 restrictions but I spent a very relaxing afternoon in pleasant surroundings practically on my own doorstep.

Well worth a visit, a beautiful building in beautiful grounds.

Small but some great that it s free for students. Some staff are very helpful and chatty and others aren t at all

much more than just intetesting modern art, fab cafe, lovely grounds and garden too. lovely place to visit and good parking facilities.

Excellent setting but most of the art is second rate

I always love seeing exhibitions here, it is a wonderful place. I have seen many of my favourite artists in IMMA over the years.

Large modern art museum with excellent changing exhibitions, most of them free. Friendly staff, the building is interesting, there are lockers for your bags and information about upcoming events. The paid exhibition when I went was 'What We Call Love' which was absolutely brilliant, and as a student I got in for free anyway. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Dublin.
