Their role is to collect, manage, and preserve Ireland’s heritage in the decorative and applied arts, as well as its political, economic, military and social history.
The primary aim is to promote a wider understanding of Ireland’s cultural heritage and to highlight the country’s contribution to European decorative arts and in a broader international context.
The work of the artist Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) is particularly well represented in the Albert Bender Collection.
