As I only had a quick visited the lovely to the Cafe, I can't comment on the Gallery. But guide/reception were very helpful. I look forward to visiting at a later date when I have more time to enjoy and explore this beautiful building. But,I certainly enjoyed delicious scone and tea. Keep up the good work. Go raibh maith agaibh.

Constantly changing exhibitions of the best of modern art, both Irish and International. There’s also a beautiful garden around the back and a great cafe.
And it’s totally free entry for everyone.
The Museum is in a perfectly restored heritage building right in the city centre of Kilkenny.

Never knew the gallery was there...🤷🏼 Some diverse interesting Irish art collections. Will suit all tastes from more classical to modern. Not old masters, but worth exploring. Super coffee shop - Wild Flower. Well worth stopping in for a snack or drink after the gallery.

Wild Flower Cafe is part of Butler Gallery in Kilkenny, lovely spot for a coffee and cake, savory food also looked great, had a delicious coffee and coconut energy ball. Very nice staff and the cafe has a lovely out door garden, have been to events in the garden during the summer as part if the gallery and its a lovely space to sit take in the art and music.

A real addition to Kilkenny and it's free. The people who work there and volunteer there really know their stuff and make you feel so welcome.

On a day trip to Kilkenny and visited Butler Gallery. I was excited to find the works of one of my favourite artist's Tony O'Malley on view. Lots of other wonderful artworks here too. Will visit again

Just such a wonderful (free) space in this bustling busy city. Situated just off John St lower the gallery is a fully accessible bright and wonderfully designed. There are paintings on permanent display as well as temporary exhibitions. The coup de grâce is the Wild Flower Cafe where we met Olivia. Even on a sunny chilly day we still managed to sit outside in the little "green houses" where we were nice and toasty. Goes without saying that the food was delicious and the service even better.
