Ireland is known for its intriguing history, its hauntingly beautiful landscapes, its literary traditions, and for the wit and spirit of its people. SBMA will be taken behind the scenes into private gardens, libraries, and homes that range from medieval castles to Georgian townhouses. The rich and varied history of Ireland will be brought to life by art historian and tour organizer Harriet Landseer. SBMA’s Curator of Photography and New Media, Charles Wylie, will accompany the tour on behalf of the Museum and will add insight along the way.

The program, already five years in the making at press time, is custom designed for and exclusive to SBMA Members. It is based at the following elegant hotels: The Merrion in Dublin, Ballyfin Desmesne in County Laois, and Glin Castle in County Limerick.

Enjoy the pleasure of Irish hospitality in July when the weather is at its best, allowing one to catch a glimpse of traditional Ireland in the country towns “where one feels the mellowed presence of the past.” (Jan Morris, New York Times). Please join SBMA on this tour that combines the tranquility of country life and the ‘city chic’ of cosmopolitan Dublin.
