Hugh Lane Gallery of Modern Art

Hugh Lane Gallery of Modern Art : The Michelin guide review

The modern art museum bears the name of Sir Hugh Lane (1875-1915), from whom the core of the collection came. There are major works of Irish and French painting, including impressionist canvases by Corot and Courbet, and the Francis Bacon Studio, purchased in 1998. An entire room is dedicated to Roderick O'Connor (1860-1940), a friend of Gauguin; his canvases reflect the influence of his fellow French painters, from Seurat to Van Gogh.
