The Millenium Wing - National Gallery Of Ireland
Benson & Forsyth Architects, Edinburgh, 1996-2001

So, for everyone in Embra going "Hold on, that's the National Museum here", well we all thought that too at the time! But in any office, two similar briefs in two similar sites at the same time will produce two similar schemes...

The interior public spaces are pretty nice; the new temporary exhibition space is as dull as it needs to be, but still has some cool little nooks and crannies presenting you with a window on the streets or the huge grand staircase. So, we'll owe you this one!
