The Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), in collaboration with the Office of Public Works, presents the magnificent 17th century Royal Hospital, Kilmainham.

Closure of Main Building – November 2011 to December 2012

The Museum wishes to advise visitors that, owing to essential and extensive refurbishment works, the main building at IMMA will remain closed until December 31st 2012.

From 31 May 2012 the Irish Museum of Modern Art’s exhibitions programme will be based in two separate locations – the New Galleries in the grounds of the Royal Hospital in Kilmainham and the ground floor exhibition spaces in the National Concert Hall building in Earlsfort Terrace. IMMA will also present tours and lectures and its children’s, young people’s, adult and education programmes in both locations.
