Royal Hibernian Academy

The RHA Gallery (Royal Hibernian Academy), located just a 2 minute walk from St. Stephens Green, is one of Dublin's leading public art galleries. Open 7 days a week with free admission, the RHA gallery shows an innovative mix of Irish and International contemporary art. With an exhibition and education programme dedicated to developing, affirming and challenging the public's appreciation of traditional and innovative approaches to the visual arts.

Love the RHA which is a visual arts society run by artists. A superb city centre gallery space also offering various art classes as well as regular exhibition. In particular their Annual Exhibition is fantastic and I love to visit it to see the wealth of contemporary Irish art selected via open submission - paint, sculpture, print, photography, drawing and architecture - it's all here, and it's all fantastic.

Olivier Cornet Gallery

Located at 3 Great Denmark Street in the Parnell Square Cultural Quarter, the heart of Georgian Dublin, the Olivier Cornet Art Gallery is now one of Ireland's most exciting modern & contemporary fine art galleries, representing accomplished Irish-based visual artists, working in a variety of media such as painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, fine prints and digital art. "Olivier Cornet has a knack for curating good thematic shows, allowing artists to affiliate their work to a subject – in this case climate change – without distorting their customary practices. Here he elicits thoughtful, nuanced responses from a number of fine artists including Jordi Fornies, Claire Halpin, Eoin Mac Lochlainn, Yanny Petters, Freda Rupp, Aisling Conroy, Vicky Smith and more". Aidan Dunne, "The best art exhibitions this week – from 2°C in Dublin to Outposts in Cork"

Yesterday, when I was walking home from Ranelagh and I was looking for shelter from a sudden shower, typical for this time of the year, I discovered the Gerard Byrne Studio. I simply went in and was greeted very friendly by the gallery staff. After a little while Elena came over to me and shared some really interesting information about the well known Irish self-taught Painter Gerard Byrne. His works are very varied. Elena and his wife Agata and their colleague were extremely friendly and helpful. I had the chance to learn more about Gerard's habits and favourite motives. His passion in summer is painting outside, Many beautiful spots from Dublin and its surroundings are depicted and captured mainly in oil, but sometimes also in charcoal. As we are in Dublin the winter season doesn't lend itself for outdoor painting, this is, when he either paints still lives or groups of people. I particularly liked the scenes from cooks and people in restaurant. Go and have a look, if you can find his signature "thing" in all pictures that display people! It is really funny, I highly recommend to explore.

Brown Thomas

A landmark on Grafton Street, at the heart of the capital's shopping district, Brown Thomas Dublin is our flagship store. Home to an unparalleled range of designer brands - in menswear, womenswear, accessories, beauty and homewares. Brown Thomas is Ireland's most beautiful lifestyle store, loved as much at home as it is by international visitors.

Reviewed By Sinsamder - Western Ireland, Ireland

Having used MAC products for many many years I love to visit the shop in Brown Thomas. Had a most pleasant shopping experience today with Tara who is a superb and attentive assistant. Another young lady (petite with long curly light brown hair) helped us too and she was very polite and helpful. This visit such a contrast to our previous visit where we had a very rude assistant. I will definitely be looking out for Tara next time I’m in.
