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 as a visitor.

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 Dublin anyways.

  • Lisa Huang-North

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 I was there.

  • Sarah Coates

This is a huge waste of space. It should be used by the college for student and society exhibitions, not external artists'. Despite the big sign outside the gallery is very uninviting and people just don't know it's open to the public.

  • Steven Schwartz

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.

  • Kyle Steever

Great art gallery, tons of paintings from 10th century on. Definitely easy to get lost but very expansive at collection

Without a doubt the Hyde Gallery is the best Gallery in Dublin. It was incredible I saw Paul Graham's show and his talk, fantastic in handling Luigi Ghirri and Alec Soth's show too and many more

  • Lensmen

This gallery for Irish and international exhibitions was great. It is a contemporary art gallery right within the setting of Trinity College

  • Ava Kitty

The space could be better advertised and honestly could fit more works than are on display. Beautiful space. Hidden gem.

  • Anthony Kelly

A beautiful architectural space, with amazing high quality art exhibitions and lovely books and tote bags for sale

  • talya ovadia

Not for eveyone. The building itslef was also very confusing in structure. Got lost twice …

  • Dáire Mooney

Modern art is weird. Not sure whether I like it or not, but its worth a visit.

One of Dublin's top contemporary art galleries, situated in Trinity College.
