Public Tour: Food in Art

Join us for a tour exploring the connections between art and Irish food culture, spanning different centuries, backdrops and social classes. 

This tour highlights Ireland's heritage through food and drink in art. Admire paintings that range from the toil of potato diggers to the privilege of an all-male club of wine and whiskey drinkers. Appreciate the works of Evie Hone, Paul Henry, Gerard Dillon, and John Malachy Kavanagh, who highlight the pivotal role of agriculture and food producers in Ireland.
