Time/Date -
Friday 26 March - Wednesday 13 October
This exhibition contains many of the most important and best-loved works in the Ulster Museum collection of twentieth-century Irish art.
The arrangement is based on the themes of Figure, Place and Imagination. These themes overlap and a fourth grouping has also emerged: artists who were born or have worked in the north of Ireland.
During the closure of the Ulster Museum, new acquisitions have entered the collection. Most notable are two major works by Willie Doherty, Apparatus, a series of forty photographs of Belfast and Ghost Story, a powerful video installation first shown at the Venice Biennale in 2007.
