A very small exhibition gallery space that has contemporary art. It appears to show about 2 artists at a time. Part of the Trinity College complex. It can be good or bad depending on the shows and your taste in art.

Such a cool modern place. It has sort of an industrial vibe - the best thing for taking in contemporary art. The entrance is free, definitely go take a look if you're at Trinity.

I didn’t know what to expect, was just passing by and dropped in. What a lovely gallery with thought provoking works.

I love this place. It’s my favourite contemporary Art museum in Dublin. The space is very modern square shaped design where it has a Berlin underground New York kind of theme. It’s dark, rugged, grey and concrete but it’s perfect because it brings out the contemporary work out from the artist where you can focus on the art work itself not the space or the architecture of the place.

My suggestion would be focus more on the sound system and the light show, to make it going to the gallery form of engaging art experience, you are not visiting the gallery for the contemporary art but for the experience. The space would welcome such idea where time and space can be lost whilst you’re in a midst of the creation forgetting the chaos of the outside world. The building is not the most pretty architectural manifestation yet it host the weirdest art work in Dublin. Take it further and make it interactive so you become part of the exhibition or the gallery itself...

Nice gallery. Not very big though, so I would presume it's always hosting one or two artists. To be honest, the art I saw there wasn't quite contemporary - it was more of a what arts institutions think it's contemporary, but that's what usually happens in these kind of spaces. Would definitely recommend to see if you're an art lover, though. There aren't as many places like this in...

A medium size exhibition space on Trinity College campus, rotating exhibition so experience can vary. I found there to be minimal explanation / information on the current exhibition, which made it slightly more difficult to appreciate the arts on exhibit in context, it would have been nice to see some notes on curator's note. Well lit space, there were only 2-3 other visitors when...
