The Top Art Galleries in Limerick, Ireland
Limerick‘s art scene is small but perfectly formed, inspired by the bustling city streets and sweeping countryside that make up Ireland‘s Treaty County. In fact, the opening three entries on this list are all within a short walk of each other, meaning you can explore the bulk of the county art scene in a few hours of drifting and ogling split by a couple of swift strolls. There’s plenty to uncover, from unique buys to take home, to high-end, historically important pieces by world-renowned artists. Here are the top art galleries in Limerick to get your art fix.

2. Limerick City Gallery of Art

3. Normoyle Frawley Gallery

5. Red Door Gallery
Tucked well off the tourist trail in Newcastle West, the Red Door Gallery is a real community-led outlet, hosting pop-up exhibitions and giving a voice to local artists since 2013. You can hear about much of what’s going on here by keeping an eye on the Limerick Arts Office (great for general coverage of the area, too). Expect talks, drop-ins from bigger Irish names, and display space for up-and-coming locals.
