Experience the National Gallery of Ireland through a mixture of materials, texture, space and sound! In this 40 minute blindfolded visit, a member for the Gallery’s guide panel will guide you around the Gallery’s outdoor and indoor spaces focusing on some of the most architecturally significant parts the Gallery has to offer. By using your other senses, you are invited to place yourself in the solid space and sound around you.
