Important art associated with Athlone


We are delighted to announce that the National Gallery of Ireland have given us permission to exhibit copies of two very important pieces from the 'Taking Stock Acquisitions 2000-2010' which is currently on show in Dublin. The framed copies will form a central part of our future 'Old Athlone' exhibitions.
