Admission to the Gallery and to exhibitions is free. The Gallery’s permanent collection comprises over 2,000 works, ranging from 18th century Irish and European paintings and sculptures, through to contemporary video installations. One of the Gallery's focal points is a a collection of Greek and Roman sculpture casts, brought to Cork in 1818 from the Vatican Museum in Rome.
