In Athlone, take a stroll over the bridge to the Luan Gallery, which is nestled on the right bank. The structure itself is a modern piece of art in its own right, serving as a platform for the most intriguing artists from the Midlands, Ireland, and beyond. It’s a space that offers the work true breathing room, with floor to ceiling windows giving unbroken views across the beautiful Shannon water.
From painting to sculpture to textiles, there is usually an eclectic and well-balanced combination of mediums on exhibit. It’s entirely free to enter, and it’s also free to take a one-on-one tour. Simply said, all you have to do is ask. Furthermore, the on-display collection rotates every two months, ensuring that there is always something fresh to view. It’s a visual feast and a great way to pass the time.
