Irish Musem of Modern Art Review

Always love this art gallery, it had free exhibitions which are always interesting and well put together

To see absolutely an exhibition of Lucian Freud .... and of course this huge building that impresses despite its sobriety

Amazing place. The grounds are beautiful and there's a lovely tree lined avenue leading to the door of the museum. Lovely to go for a walk, run or stroll with friends on the grounds.

Temporary expo was ok but the permanent expo was nearly nonexistent

Really nice exhibitions and art to see . Totally recommend it!

Highly recommend. The exposure on anxiety is very good!

I Absolutely loved the Lucian freud/yeats expo there its over soon but it was brilliant

The location is magnificent. I liked the exhibition.

One of the cultual highlights in Dublin in my opinion. A modern art gallery housed in a restored 17th century military hospital with a formal French garden beside it, this place is ideal to escape the hussle of the city, soak up some history and relax in the regal, rustic surroundings.

I was a bit disappointed with the museum I really like the art of the exhibition which you get into for free is very small and there is not much to see. What I did like is the outdoor gardens which are nice to sit in and have a nice atmosphere

Lovely museum it s very big, it has gardens and parking. Also a coffee shop. Very recommended! Parking inside is paid (I ve paid 3 for 3 hours). Today they had a workshop for children which was amazing

It's another world inside our world and it's in Dublin, a must see whether you are visiting or a national, highly recommended - 6 's

The museum is boring, and there are few works on the main exposition.
The exhibitions were not impressive either - I wandered honestly for several hours, trying to get to the bottom of the matter, but even despite my extensive experience in the field of interaction with contemporary art, I did not achieve anything, and abstract texts did not help to the extreme. The work itself does not have signatures.
But the entrance is free and quite a beautiful building.

More than a museum is a gallery of art, or exhibition hall, but it is a beautiful environment and the proposals are very good. It is very interesting for children who capture the message of everyday art better than adults.

Not very much stuff here given the large size of the building. All VERY modern art, not stuff like Picasso which the tourist guide implied.
Beautiful decorative garden.

Exhibitions change so check their website. Food is nice and the grounds are perfect for picnics.

Wild avant guard type art I didn't know what the he k was being conveyed

Depending on the exhibit: an eclectic debacle or triumphant showstopper.

Notwithstanding, the IMMA shop is unquestionably the best art-shop in Dublin.

Go on a Tuesday when all Museum exhibitions are free. Mixed media, main exhibition video based. Not very large. Additional exhibitions charged. 'Above as below' exhibition 8 euro admission. Freud exhibition in external yellow house, tickets have to be purchased also. Cafe in courtyard. Lovely grounds. And cheap and plentiful parking, make a day of it an visit Kilmanham Gaol accessible through back gate. Great for parking just to see that venue as on street out side Kilmanham Goal but of a nightmare and expensive.

Excellent art gallery with though provoking and unique collections

It's small (compared to other MoMAs) but always has good, thought provoking artists work on display

Loved the Wolfgang Tillmans exhibition and the Freud Gaze exhibition. Staff were all really nice and helpful

Excellent space, great design, it is easy to navigate between the different wings and exhibitions. Set in the former building of a military hospital in a park, it is a nice place for just a walk also. There is a cafe and a small shop with art books and souveniers. Directions are well marked from both Heuston station and from Thomas Street. Admission is free apart from the Freud project which is in a separate building. Closed Mondays.

If you are a big fan of music, especially rock music, I will definitely recommend this.

Lots of history and interesting stories and also some interesting artists and bands, I never knew came from Ireland.

The tour guide was also very passionate about what he does and also his love for music definitely showed.

Amazing buildings and collections. Well worth a visit.

I did not like it because I expected another kind of paintings, paintings or sculptures, but he eats the name well he says is modern art.

Always such an enjoyable afternoon in IMMA - spent a rainy afternoon passing through the exhibit which is beautifully located in Kilmainham - the gardens around are also worth a stroll, the cafe is also really good for coffee or brunch. Highly recommend.

What a fab place for anyone to visit. My own view is this place is best visited alone. What I mean is you get to take your own personal time to study the fab exhibitions. It's free as usual for museums in Dublin. Unique experience. Just do it. Exhibitions change regularly, experience and different perspectives for you to enjoy. By the way the grounds are amazing, cafe on site ok not the best but ok for a quick bite, lunch etc coffee not bad, service sometimes slow. Enjoy the garden walk no matter what time of year. Give it half a day to enjoy properly the exhibitions,grounds and cafe.

Unfortunately (as so often happens when travelling overseas, the one day we could visit, it was closed but interesting surrounds, great courtyard & walk around the grand old buildings.

I thought i could go in and get some great prints. No! As there was nothing in the shop. Strange place. We left after 10 mins. Nothing worth seeing.

Great location with a lot of historical flair and a permanent exhibition about the history.
On our visit unfortunately only an exhibition for free and a paid.
Still worth a visit.

Very nice place and with a lot of luck it was free on the day of our visit I recommend it if you like art

When I went there was an interesting exhibition by Frank Bowling called - Mappa Mundi - which was interesting for the use of colors. Like all modern art, most need an explanation to understand it better.

Lovely building and friendly staff,the exhibits whilst varied were somewhat limited and I am afraid did not have much interest,I feel several contributors had not much to say or did not provoke any deeper thought processes.

If you like museums and modern art then this is the place to go

I only popped in so not a full review. Grounds are adj to lovely gardens suitable for lunchtime walk/sit. Shop has funny cards & Lucian Freud postcards & usual kids' memorabilia. . Plan to go see indoor exhibits next time. I believe its 8 minimum so u need to be interested.

A beautiful building, an interesting but quite small collection ...

Closed for renovation, but no mention on their website. Museum shop has no merch worth looking at (no caps/shirts/etc) unless you like refrigerator magnets.

Lovely location and buildings. Magnificent French gardens. Exhibitions are small and limited.

Very interesting art exhibition in a lovely building surrounded by beautiful gardens

Huge historic hospital building. Interesting exhibits.

Very impressive building and great art for very little to no Money.

I mainly visit in order to take photographs and I especially like the formal gardens. If you are in Dublin and if it is a nice sunny day you really must visit the grounds.

Most of the collection is free. Nice place and good little cafe in the basement with fresh and hearty food options including quite nice soup

Beautiful buildings ,beautiful Formal Gardens , so well kept. Great place for a picnic.Modern art gallery interesting. Lucien Freud portraits n sketches fascinating. Free entrance. Other galleries not opened due to covid.

Very good ambience, but the modern side is aggressive.

I expected a lot more for a national gallery, but left a bit disappointed. In any case, its a fun activity to walk around for an hour or so.

It is a free museum so no complaints there. Not a very big exposition, beautiful building. Shop is nice and fun.
