About this event
Open House Dublin turns the Gallery's own building into the exhibit. This tour takes the original Dargan Wing — the 1864 core of the institution — and reads its design, its daylight and its placement on Merrion Square as a statement about Victorian Dublin. One of three architecture tours the Gallery runs for the Irish Architecture Foundation's festival weekend.
Why we picked it
Open House Dublin (11-18 Oct) is the month's biggest free architecture programme, and this is its Merrion Square anchor.
