The Hugh Lane Gallery is one of Dublin's other great, free attractions that features the collectors collection which he bequeathed to the State along with over 2000 works of contemporary and modern art. The main attraction is the painter Francis Bacon's studio which was relocated in its entirety from London and gives an incredible insight into the cluttered, haphazard nature of the artist's method.
The building itself, located on North Parnell Square is beautiful and airy - the perfect place to peruse slowly. There are plenty of educational talks and drawing classes on offer as well for anyone looking to engage on another level.
