Founded in 1818, the Crawford Art Gallery is housed in one of the most historic buildings in Cork. The building is located in the heart of the historical city in Emmet's Square beside the River Lee, and was originally built in 1724, as Cork's Custom House. The building was transformed into a magnificent art museum in the late 19th century, while a dramatic new gallery extension was added in the year 2000.
At the heart of the gallery is a collection of Greek and Roman sculpture casts, brought to Cork in 1818 from the Vatican Museum in Rome. As well as, The Cooper Penrose Collection, which consists of paintings, furniture, ceramics and personal items, giving a unique insight into the social and cultural life of a leading 'merchant prince' of 18th century Cork.
The Crawford Art Gallery is unique in that art historical work is juxtaposed with contemporary Irish and international art practice. The gallery offers an active education programme, free and open tours of the gallery are offered on Saturdays till the end of September. With a popular cafe and bookshop, the Gallery has a unique ambience that appeals to the 200,000 visitors who come to the gallery each year.
