Lewis Glucksman Gallery, Contemporary art gallery at University College Cork, Ireland
The Lewis Glucksman Gallery is a contemporary art museum at University College Cork, housed in a modern building designed by O'Donnell + Tuomey architects. Inside, three floors of exhibition space provide flexible venues for displaying paintings, sculptures, installations, and other artistic works.
The museum opened on October 14, 2004, when President Mary McAleese inaugurated the building, marking a turning point for contemporary art in Cork. This opening expanded the region's commitment to showing and supporting modern artistic work.
The gallery presents contemporary art exhibitions that engage with social questions, from childhood photography to feminism and environmental concerns. Visitors encounter a mix of different artistic approaches that invite reflection on topics affecting everyday life.
The museum is located at the entrance of the University College Cork campus, making it convenient to reach on foot. Visitors should note that opening hours run during weekdays and weekend mornings, with free access throughout.
The building itself received the Art Museum Award from the European Museum Academy in 2022, recognizing its work for the community. This honor highlights how the museum actively contributes beyond just displaying art.
