Biodiversity Tour
6.00pm/ Meadows & Formal Gardens
Join us for a biodiversity tour of the formal gardens and meadows of the IMMA and RHK site. This tour is led by Sandra Murphy, a member of IMMA’s Visitor Engagement Team and an amateur wildlife photographer and Birder. Booking essential, book your free place here.

Live Performance
8.00pm / Courtyard
We are thrilled to host the premiere of In Place, a live performance produced by Croí Glan Integrated Dance Company. Presented as part of IMMA Outdoors, this diptych of works will be performed in the unique courtyard setting of IMMA. Choreographed by Croí Glan Co-Artistic Director Tara Brandel, In Place plays with the relationship between the fragility and durability of the soft human form, and the surfaces and spaces of the architecture in which the performers are situated. Comprising a solo and a duet, In Place offers insights into how our environment shapes our trust, attachments and closeness and is an aural and visual feast for the senses. Book your free place here.

IMMA Outdoors 
IMMA Outdoors offers lots to explore throughout the grounds at IMMA and the RHK. Adventure through our Formal Gardens where you will find a dazzling new installation Club Chroma Chlorologia by Niall Sweeny. Visit our Terrace with friends and try your hand at our new installation Ping Pong Diplomacy by Mark Clare, which reignites the meaning of negotiation through the popular game of table tennis. Discover Y O U N G F O S S I L,  a newly commissioned project with the collaborative arts practice Forerunner, that brings bespoke seating and convivial gathering structures to our Meadow.

The main Museum entrance is on Military Road and directions below are for this entrance. There is also a secondary entrance (Pedestrian only) on South Circular Road, opposite the Courthouse at Kilmainham Gaol.

We would like to advise our visitors that Military Road will be closed from Monday, 16 August until the end of September 2021, to facilitate the construction of the new Garda Headquarters. Vehicles can still access IMMA and the RHK via the Military Road entrance via Kilmainham Lane and Irwin St, or via Bow Lane West and Irwin St.

Pedestrian access on Military Road is unaffected.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
