The Hugh Lane Gallery offers a remarkable collection of Irish art and primarily focuses on contemporary and modern works. Originally founded by Sir Hugh Lane in 1908 with a donation of his own collection to the Dublin Corporation. Now run by the Dublin City Council this is a must visit for anyone interested in Ireland's art scene. The gallery also purchased Francis Bacon’s studio from London which has been meticulously moved and rebuilt in the gallery (even down to bringing the dust). Situated north of the river with easy access to the city centre, this is an ideal location to stay for those primarily interested in visiting the gallery. The best hotels near the Hugh Lane Gallery are boutique properties ideal for an intimate and authentic stay.
