National Gallery of Ireland

Why go

The National Gallery balances major European works with a strong Irish collection, making it a dependable indoor choice without demanding a full day. Look for the Caravaggio and Jack B. Yeats holdings, then use the building’s linked wings to compare display styles.

What to look for

  • Caravaggio’s dramatic The Taking of Christ
  • Irish painting by Jack B. Yeats and his contemporaries

Useful to know

  • Use the Clare Street entrance for the modern wing
  • Check temporary exhibition tickets separately from free galleries
