What to do and see in Limerick, Province of Munster: The Best Art Museums
There once was an Irish city… You might think "naughty poem" when you hear the word Limerick, but in truth the city inspires so much more than just knowing giggles. Medieval castles and churches give the city a grand feel, while the pubs crawl with lively locals and students who are all craving just one more pint of Guinness. The Hunt Museum boasts a collection of pieces from history's most important and influential artists, while the Foynes Flying Boat Museum will marvel visitors of all ages with its whimsical flying machines.

We only had very little time to spend in Limerick and I am so glad we found this gem of a museum close to the hotel we stayed (the Absolute). The collection is marvellous and fascinating, and the building itself is worth a visit. There is a nice gift shop with a range of interesting books and a very nice coffee shops with wonderful cakes! Don't miss it!!

Love this gallery. There is a permanent collection on rotation plus excellently curated exhibitions. This is a wonderful place to experience national and international artists, with sculpture, video, photography, painting, mixed media and more. The space is bright and well considered, the location is excellent (just beside the People's Park) and they have a cafe. If you're in Limerick this is definitely worth a visit.
