The Glucksman

The Glucksman is a contemporary art museum in the historic grounds of University College Cork, Ireland.

It was opened by President Mary McAleese in October 2004 and since then has won numerous awards for its architecture and creative programmes. The Glucksman presents ambitious exhibitions of Irish and international art in tandem with a wide range of activities designed to encourage participation from all visitors, whether an art professional or first time gallery-goer. As well as the informal learning opportunities threaded throughout the museum experience, the Glucksman offers formal education programmes at every level from primary to postgraduate to professional development.

The Glucksman is a civic space that provides an essential connection for the University with the wider world, enabling public understanding of the visionary research undertaken in all departments and disciplines, and welcoming students, staff and visitors to explore, enjoy and learn about art right in the heart of the UCC campus.
