The Art & Industry division of the Museum also mounts temporary exhibitions in Collins Barracks on a regular basis. These exhibitions have covered a range of topics, such as the annual contemporary silver competition organised jointly by the Museum and the National College of Art and Design; Norwegian glass; the life of John Wesley; Neo-Celtic decorative and fine art; firearms by the Rigby family; contemporary Irish glass art; toys and games. This changing programme of temporary exhibitions has been greatly enhanced by the renovation of the barracks Riding School as an exhibition location, which was completed in January 2005. This has enabled the Museum to develop and expand its range of temporary exhibitions.
