Hugh Lane Gallery is Dublin's city gallery for modern and contemporary art, with a collection shaped by Sir Hugh Lane's early support for modern painting. Its best-known draw is the reconstructed studio of Francis Bacon, moved from London and preserved in remarkable detail.
The gallery is a strong north-side stop near Parnell Square, the Garden of Remembrance, and the James Joyce Centre. It is especially useful for visitors who want a serious art museum without the scale of the National Gallery.
