Reply To: National Gallery Extension

I have not been in Ireland for some time, and these are the first images i have seen of it. It really is quite impressive isn’t it?? It does not appear to be as ‘over designed’ as its Scottish cousin.

The preservation of the ballroom really raises quetions about how far ‘conservation’ measures should be taken. It appears from the photos to look absolutley awfull.
There seems to be a very poor relationship between it and the contemporary gallery surrounding it.

Can anyone who saw it enlighten me please???
