About Irish Museum of Modern Art (Royal Hospital Kilmainham)
The Royal Hospital Kilmainham was built in the 1680s by order of King Charles II as a retirement home and hospital for veteran soldiers of the Irish army, modeled on Les Invalides in Paris. It housed disabled pensioners for nearly two and a half centuries. In 1991 the building was repurposed to house Ireland's collection of modern art.
