Contemporary photography in Temple Bar

Word to the wise: Time your visit for the weekend, when there are markets in the square outside the museum.
Buskers singing Coldplay's 'Yellow' are not the closest you'll get to culture in the heart of Temple Bar. Located in Meeting House Square, this modern, purpose-built space is the city's - indeed, Ireland's - premier venue for photography exhibitions, hosting national and internationally acclaimed names such as Bill Doyle and Sebastião Salgado, as well as showcasing new talent.

The space also provides facilities such as darkrooms and digital imaging facilities for local photographers, doing its bit to keep the art of photography alive in the digital age. Check out the bookshop while you’re there: they have a wide range of photo books, as well quirky postcards.
