Amazing art around the place featuring Irish artists

Je ne cache pas que cette galerie ne serait rien sans une merveille de l'art contemporain. Elle renferme l'atelier de l'exceptionnel Francis Bacon reconstitué au millimètre près. C'est assez incroyable. On y trouve quelques citations de l'artiste ainsi qu'une vidéo. C'est un endroit fabuleux.
