Two nights training, one pint, and whatever's left for wandering into a good exhibition - that's my week sorted. These are the spaces I keep circling back to, from the big institutional cathedrals of art to the small Stoneybatter spots you'd walk past if you weren't looking. Hugh Lane's mid-refurbishment at the minute so I've been leaning harder on the others, but it'll be worth the wait when the doors swing open again, that's the truth of it now.

NameTickAddressCityMy take
1Hugh Lane GalleryCharlemont House, Parnell Square North, Dublin 1, D01 F2X9DublinClosed for refurb right now but it's the Kilkenny of Dublin galleries, always near the top. Francis Bacon's studio alone is worth the wait.
2Irish Museum of Modern ArtRoyal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin 8, D08 FW31DublinBig pitch, big atmosphere, the grounds alone deserve a Sunday stroll after. Never a bad day out here.
3National Gallery of Ireland———
4Douglas Hyde GalleryTrinity College, Nassau Street entrance, Dublin 2DublinTucked into Trinity like a sub who turns a match, contemporary stuff that always surprises me.
5Hillsboro Fine Art49 Parnell Square West, Dublin 1, D01 A971DublinHandy to pair with Hugh Lane once it reopens, cosy room, always something Irish and interesting hanging.
6The JoineryArbour Hill, Stoneybatter, Dublin 7DublinMy home patch gallery, five minutes from the clinic. Rough and ready in the best way, proper community spirit.
