Members' Room

An exclusive oasis in the heart of the Gallery

Nestled in the historic Milltown Wing of the Gallery, overlooking Merrion Square park, the Members' Room is the perfect place to take time out and relax after an exhibition visit or tour. With sofas, a reading library, access to refreshments, and free WiFi, the Members' Room is a space for Friends to unwind, chat, connect and read.

This unique room was originally the Director’s office before its transformation into the exclusive Members' Room.
