Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane
.................................................................................................................................................

Located in Dublin’s city centre, the Hugh Lane Gallery houses one of Ireland’s foremost
collections of modern and contemporary art. The original collection, donated by the Gallery’s
founder Sir Hugh Lane, has grown to almost 2000 artworks, ranging from the Impressionist
masterpieces of Manet, Monet, Renoir and Degas to works by leading national and
international contemporary artists.
The most spectacular recent acquisition is Francis Bacon’s 7 Reece Mews studio, together
with its entire contents numbering over 7,000 items including drawings, slashed canvases,
books and correspondence. The studio is supported by an Audio Visual room showing Melvyn
Bragg’s celebrated interview with Francis Bacon, an Exhibition Gallery with some of the
artist’s unfinished paintings and a Micro Gallery where the visitor has access to an edited
version of the database of the contents of the studio on touch screen terminals.
Temporary exhibitions ranging in subject are held throughout the year. The Gallery also holds
regular lectures, concerts, tours and art workshops for children.
