Dublin - Irish Museum of Modern Art
|
|
Going towards Dublin along Kilmainham Lane and turning left into Military Road, we come to the main entrance of the Royal Hospital which today houses the Irish Museum of Modern Art. The building was erected between 1680 and 1687 by Sir William Robinson "for maimed and infirm officers and soldiers." No costs were spared in the 1980s when the classical building, in French-Dutch style, was restored.
