Is Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) earns the hours.

Allow 1–1.5 hours.

Strong rotating contemporary exhibitions in a magnificent baroque former hospital, with free grounds great for a wander. The honest catch: it's modern-art-only and exhibition-dependent, so a quiet show period can feel sparse, and it's out west near Kilmainham rather than in the centre.
