It is one of the first DIY artist initiatives in Ireland started by a group of
artists and administrators in 1983. In the 1980's, TBG+S was instrumental
in establishing Temple Bar's reputation as a place for cultural activities in
Dublin and led to its regeneration as Dublin's Cultural Quarter in the early
1990's. At Temple Bar Gallery + Studios (TBG+S), we place the artist at the
heart of everything we do.

Kilmainham Gaol
Inchicore Road | Kilmainham, Dublin 8, Ireland (Kilmainham)
Dublin's Kilmainham Gaol held some of the most famous political and
military leaders in Irish history such as Robert Emmet, Charles Stewart
Parnell, the 1916 Rising leaders and Eamon de Valera.
If for no other reason, Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin would be remarkable for
being the biggest unoccupied gaol in these islands. As such, it gives the
visitor a dramatic and realistic insight into what is was like to have been
confined in one of these forbidding bastions of punishment and correction
between 1796 when it opened and 1924 when it closed. It offers a
panoramic insight into some of the most profound, disturbing and
inspirational themes of modern Irish history.
Leaders of the rebellions of 1798, 1803, 1848, 1867 and 1916 were detained
here.
A perfect trip to set the mood later for an ..
