Nice place, unfortunatle there are some expositions closed. Maybe the next time.
Probably the venue itself is the finest piece of art kept in the Crawford Gallery. At the ground floor there's an intriguing but definitely not so good collection of casted sculptures. The first floor is worth visiting, especially for the amazing landscapes it offers.
Always worth a visit. Lovely lunch spot. Wish they would rotate some of the fixed exhibitions a bit more though.
A must see in Cork city, for tourists and anyone living here. Located in the city centre it's ideal for a short visit over a lunch break or to spend a day inside. It offers a great look at the history of the gallery itself, its members and its city. With new exhibits always showing and a stand out cafe downstairs it's always on my list for a return visit.
The collection is eclectic and not particularly well curated. While I found a few pieces there that I enjoyed personally, there are also plenty of pieces that are mislabeled or simply don't seem to be museum-quality art. The central gallery space one floor above the entrance is quite nice. And I can't complain about the price because admission is free.
Loved this place..Some very fine pieces of art. Especially liked the detailed drawings of James Barry RA and Sean Heeney's work.
Great static exhibits, plus changing exhibits you can spend hours in there without realising. Friendly & helpful staff
The CRAWFORD ART GALLERY is Actually a Major Museum that dates back to the 1700s. Classic Sculpture, Paintings, Prints and now, Contemporary works such as Paintings by The 1970s Artist Edward MAGUIRE's "Portrait of Anthony Cronin" dated 1977, which is a BUREAU of ARTS and CULTURE favorite.The Museum originally benefitted from Cork's Port Economy early on and now houses some 2500 valuable and interesting works of Art, many that directly represent The Great IRISH Heritage and Culture that we respect at this Publication. Look for more on this Institute in the next Edition as well as Interviews with Irish Artists in our magazine which is FREE and translatable to ANYONE in The WORLD.
