Limerick City Gallery of Art
The Limerick City Gallery of Art is the city's main public art gallery, housed in a Georgian building beside the People's Park in the historic Pery Square area. It holds Limerick's civic art collection, which includes works by significant Irish artists such as Jack B. Yeats and Seán Keating alongside a program of contemporary and touring exhibitions, making it a useful stop for anyone interested in modern and 20th-century Irish art rather than the medieval history that dominates much of the rest of the city's sights. The gallery is compact and free to enter, and its setting, right beside the leafy People's Park and the Georgian streetscape of Pery Square, makes it an easy and relaxed addition to a walk through that part of Limerick rather than a destination requiring a special trip.
