The rooftop garden in the Chester Beatty Library is a place that very few people know about, a small space boasting indigenous materials, surrounded on all sides by a developing city. - Dublin Buzz
The portrait gallery is excellent. Loved that the museum is small enough that you feel as though you can really see it all. - Sarah Doody
A great place to go to avoid the hustle & bustle of the city. Great exhibitions & great gardens to boot! Take some chill time for yourself today! Inaugural Summer Rising festival this July 2014. - Dublin Buzz
The art on display is not great but bacon's studio is worthy - Anna Meneghini
