It's free, which is great but the majority of the museum was renaissance, portraits or both which got kind of boring. Yes, it has ONE Monet, ONE Picasso, a few Van Goghs and assorted other more...

I can't get over no entry fee being charged to visit this gallery! Vermeer, Caravaggio, Rembrandt... they have so many lovely works of art. Irish artists like Jack B Yeats are also well represented. You need several hours to see all of it! Well, worth a visit. The renovations were very well done too! Truly a pleasure to visit!

I’m not an art person but this was a nice way to spend an hour or so, especially on a rainy day. It’s free which makes it an easy decision. Several famous artists have a couple paintings here. We went when they first opened in the morning and there was almost no one there. It was kinda fun to have the museum virtually to ourselves.
