National Gallery of Ireland announces reopening date ahead of new exhibition

The National Gallery Of Ireland has announced its reopening dates ahead of launching an exciting new exhibition.

The popular tourist spot will be opening its doors to the public on Monday, May 10.

The museum will be opening a new exhibition called New Perspectives on Tuesday.

Highlights include Cityscape by American artist Alice Neel and City Rectangle by Ilya Bolotowsky as well as features works that have been purchased by friends and patrons of the National Gallery of Ireland, including Her First Communion by John Lavery and Crayfish by Anne Yeats.

The gallery will operate a one-way system, and so entry is via Merrion Square only.

Additionally, visitors will be required to pre-book tickets online.

Tickets for New Perspectives can be purchased online, starting from €5.

The popular national collection will be open to the public for free upon reopening. The much-loved Gallery Shop will reopen on-site on May 17.

Sean Rainbird, Director of the National Gallery of Ireland, commented: “We are very happy to be open again after months of closure. These extraordinary times have reinforced the importance and value of the National Gallery of Ireland.

"After months of staying at home, we know that people are craving culture and live experiences, and we are delighted to welcome our visitors back. Our latest exhibition New Perspectives is a culmination of ten years’ of acquisitions.

"Visitors will find great variety in the show, and the stories behind each work are truly fascinating. We are grateful to our Friends, Patrons, and the public for their support over the last number of months.

"I especially would like to thank our Friends and Patrons, without whom, some of the art showcased in New Perspectives, would not have come to be here. We look forward to seeing you all over the coming weeks and months."
