Audio Guide of the Lewis Glucksman Gallery

The gallery is located at the main entrance of University College Cork (UCC). It is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sundays from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm (closed on Mondays). You can check for updates on its official website.

Admission to all exhibitions is completely free, making it an essential cultural visit. However, a voluntary €5 donation is suggested to support its educational and conservation programs.

To fully enjoy the contemporary art exhibitions and the building's architecture at a relaxed pace, we recommend allowing about one hour. If you plan to have lunch at the restaurant, add at least another 45 minutes to your itinerary.

Opened in 2004, it is a gem of modern architecture designed by O'Donnell + Tuomey that has won multiple international awards. The building was designed to blend among the century-old trees and connect the university with the city.

To avoid crowds and enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the art, we suggest going on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning. Spring and autumn are ideal for seeing the university gardens at their finest.

Yes, the building is fully accessible; it has elevators connecting all floors of the gallery and adapted restrooms. Inclusive design is a priority to ensure everyone can enjoy the space.

You are right on the UCC grounds, so take the opportunity to visit the Honan Chapel and Fitzgerald Park, which is just a few minutes' walk away and is home to the Cork Public Museum.

Don't miss the gallery shop in the basement for unique Irish design gifts, and take the opportunity to enjoy a coffee or lunch at the restaurant overlooking the River Lee. Check its schedule before you go in case workshops are available.
