Culture for free!

There are two museums that I love in Dublin and both of them are free:
- Chester Beatty Library: The collection of rare art objects and manuscripts from Middle-Eastern and Extreme-Eastern is amazing! The first floor gathers mainly precious books and the second floor is entirely dedicated to religions.
Check http://www.cbl.ie/ for more info!
- National Gallery: This huge museum possesses 54 rooms and 11 000 pieces of art…among which paintings from Yeats, Veronese, Caravage (The arrest of Christ), Rubens (Annonciation), Rembrandt (Young Woman…my favorite!), Goya, Greco…It’s absolutely fantastic!National Gallery, Leinster Lawn, Merrion Square West; 661-51-33
