The Limerick City Gallery of Art ( Irish Gailearaí Ealaíon Chathair Luimní ) is an art museum in the city of Limerick in County Limerick in the province of Munster in the southwest of the Republic of Ireland .
The museum is housed in a neo-Romanesque building built in 1906 as the Carnegie Library and Museum and funded by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie . The Limerick City Gallery of Art was founded in 1936 and has taken over the Carnegie building. It was extended by a newly built exhibition hall. The permanent exhibition includes Irish art from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
