What's New
'MASQUERADE AND SPECTACLE. THE CIRCUS AND TRAVELLING FAIR IN THE WORK OF JACK B YEATS'
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the artist's death, this exhibition of some 20 paintings, focuses on a subject that was crucial to Yeats' artistic development. The display will include a number of items from the Yeats Archive and paintings that have rarely been seen in public before.
(18 July until 11 November, Yeats Museum, admission free)
The gallery's Audioguide service is now available in Irish. Please enquire at the information desks.

ONGOING:
'TREASURES FROM THE NORTH: IRISH PAINTINGS FROM THE ULSTER MUSEUM'
Perhaps the most impressive show of Irish art ever presented in one location, as we display along with our own collection an exhibition of 60 masterpieces from the Ulster Museum.
(Until 16 September, Millennium Wing, admission free)
'THE FANTASTIC IN IRISH ART: IMAGES OF THE SUPERNATURAL AND THE UNCANNY'
This exhibition looks at the role of the fantastic in the work of Irish artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Preferring the inner world of the imagination to the current emphasis on rationalism these artists created evocative and fascinating works of art intended to delight or unsettle their audience.
( Until 12 August, Print Gallery, admission free )

Additional information is available at http://www.nationalgallery.ie/html/exhibitions.html

'Bréagriocht agus Taispeántas: an Sorcas agus an tAonach Taistil i Shaothar Jack B Yeats'
Taispeántas speisialta chun an t-ealaíontóir a chomóradh caoga bliain i ndiaidh a bháis. Díríonn na pictiúir sa taispeántas ar ábhar a bhí lárnach i bhforbairt Yeats mar ealaíontóir. Beidh roinnt saothar ó Chartlann Yeats le feiceáil agus pictiúir nár cuireadh os comhair an phobail mórán riamh cheana.
(18 Iúil go dtí 11 Samhna, Músaem Yeats, saorchead isteach)
AR LEAN
'An Fhantaisíocht in Ealaín na Éireann:
Íomhánna den Osnádúr agus den Diamhair'
Léiríonn an taispeántas seo ról na fantaisíochta i saothar ealaíontoirí Éireannacha ag deireadh an 19ú haois agus tús an 20ú haois. Agus iad ag díriú ar shaol inmheánach na samhlaíochta seachas ar spéis na ré sin sa réasúnachas, chruthaigh na healaíontóirí seo saothair spreagúla, inspéise a tharraing aird an lucht féachana nó a rinne míshuaimhneach iad. Tá saothair le Richard Doyle, George Russell, Jack Yeats, Oliver Sheppard, Harry Clarke, Art O'Murnaghan agus daoine eile le feiceáil sa taispeántas. ( Go dtí 12 Lúnasa, An Gailearaí Priontaí, saorchead isteach )
