UCC Art Collection
We provide professional care and development for the University College Cork Art Collection in accordance with the Museum Standards Programme for Ireland.
The University College Cork art collection focuses on modern and contemporary Irish art. These works are sited throughout the campus to provide the UCC community and visitors with a first-hand encounter with original works of art. UCC has received a number of generous donations to its art collection. These artworks increase the value of the Modern Art Collection not only in financial terms, but also as a teaching and research resource for current and future scholars.
The Art of Looking, a guide to the UCC Art Collection is available at the gallery shop.
