The Hunt Museum, Limerick
In this video, Hugh Maguire, director of the the Hunt Museum chats about one of Limerick's most loved attractions and highlights some of the exhibitions and events planned for 2012 at the museum.
The Hunt Museum exhibits one of Ireland's greatest private collections of art and antiquities, dating from the Neolithic to the 20th Century, including works by Renoir, Picasso and Yeats.
There are artefacts from Greece, Rome, Egypt and the Olmec civilisation. There is also an important collection of Irish archaeological material ranging from Neolithic flints and Bronze Age material, including a Bronze Age shield and cauldron, to later Christian objects such as the unique 9th century Antrim Cross.
One of the strengths of the collection is the medieval material, which include statues in stone and wood, painted panels, jewellery, enamels, ivories, ceramics, crystal and crucifixes.
18th and 19th century decorative arts are also represented with fine examples of silver, glass and ceramics. Artists' works in the collection include Pablo Picasso, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Roderic O'Conor, Jack B. Yeats, Robert Fagan and Henry Moore.

So we are here at the Hunt Museum in Limerick city and its a fantastic museum with over two thousand works of art, all donated to the city by John and Gertrude Hunt, a very generous family. And we're lucky enough to see art from the stone age to the twentieth century. It's fantastic.
We're having some of the lovely desert at the Museum cafe. Its really worth a visit if you come to the Museum. Or even if you dont. Its worth the cake.

Official Opening of the Custom House Gardens at the Hunt Museum, Limerick
I was delighted to officially open the Custom House Gardens at the Hunt Museum in Limerick. This is the start of a three phase programme of works that will see the historic gardens of the Museum, which to date have limited public access, become an asset for the general use by all the residents and visitors to the city. This initiative by both the Museum and Limerick City and County Council is certain to greatly enhance Limerick's river-front. I hope the greater public and tourists to Limerick City take full advantage of this new public amenity and wish the project well as it continues to develop into the future.
