The Irish Museum of Modern Art (Irish: Áras Nua-Ealaíne na hÉireann) also known as IMMA, is Ireland's leading national institution for the collection and presentation of modern and contemporary art. Located in Kilmainham, Dublin, the Museum presents a wide variety of art in a changing programme of exhibitions, which regularly includes bodies of work from its own collection and its education and community department. It also aims to create more widespread access to art and artists through its studio and national programmes.
The museum’s mission is to foster within society an awareness, understanding and involvement in the visual arts through policies and programmes which are excellent, innovative and inclusive.
Wonderful experience. The special collection on Lucien Freud is amazing. Free entry for students for this exhibition. All welcome for the rest of the museum. If you want to really enjoy it, I encourage you to take at least 4 h to spend there. The shop has very cool useful things, particularly if you are a passionate of cats, unicorns, books and a bit of magic. Come and look for the famous Drummer of Barry Flanagan.

Wonderful museum if you are interested in Irish modern art. Exhibitions change frequently and the curators generally make good choices. They emphasize artists with Irish roots or artists who have some organic ties to the island. Also there is no entry fee except for the special Freud exhibit.

Some interesting displays of modern artwork on display here. Exhibitions change during the year, so best check to see what is on before planning your trip. Parking is convenient and the gardens are lovely too. Cafe downstairs is OK.

Excellent space, great design, it is easy to navigate between the different wings and exhibitions. Set in the former building of a military hospital in a park, it is a nice place for just a walk also. There is a cafe and a small shop with art books and souveniers. Directions are well marked from both Heuston station and from Thomas Street. Admission is free apart from the Freud project which is in a separate building. Closed Mondays.

What is inside (when it comes to artwork) is up to you to judge, but they have nice facilities and professional staff (if you ever see one of them). Some things I didn't get, some things were interesting, some nice...I guess, as long as they draw reaction from you, they made it. Even if you do not like modern art, but you like nature, you could go there, because they have amazing small park there, one of my favorite in Dublin! Entrance is free.
