Their role is to collect, manage, and preserve Ireland’s heritage in the decorative and applied arts, as well as its political, economic, military and social history.
The primary aim is to promote a wider understanding of Ireland’s cultural heritage and to highlight the country’s contribution to European decorative arts and in a broader international context.
Some of the most noted prints on exhibition are by artists renowned for their characterisation of women in print form from the late-eighteenth up to the mid-nineteenth century – Eisen, Eizan, Kunisada, Shigenobu, Shuncho, Shunsen and Utamaro.
