Description

Specialties

The Douglas Hyde Gallery, founded in 1978, became independent of Trinity College in 1984, and for some years afterwards we were the only publicly-​funded gallery in Ireland that regularly exhibited contemporary art.

Today, our programme has become more focused than before, frequently engaging with art that has been marginalized, and with artists, both from Ireland and abroad, who have not yet become well-​known or who have been overlooked. We also regularly hold small exhibitions of ethnographic and craft artefacts in Gallery 2.

The Douglas Hyde Gallery publishes small books and catalogues that are known and distributed all over the world, and occasionally hosts musical events.
