The Irish Art Research Centre (TRIARC)

Please note the Triarc reading room will be closed to visitors from Monday 12th-Monday 26th August inclusive due to annual leave.

The Irish Art Research Centre was established in 2003 in response to the growing international interest in Irish art, leading to a demand for courses at all levels, for research and publications analysing imagery of Irish interest, and for well qualified graduates. The establishment of the centre was facilitated by the generous support of benefactors, enabling the appointment of dedicated staff, and the restoration of the Provost’s House Stables to provide facilities for education and research, including the visual archive and a collection of texts on aspects of Irish art.

The centre builds on the extensive expertise in Irish art that has been a feature of the History of Art Department since its inception.

The Centre is usually open on Mondays and Tuesdays during the July and August. Other days may be available by appointment, depending on staff leave. Please contact Ruth Sheehy: rsheehy@tcd.ie for details.
