Housed in the beautifully restored 18th Century stables of Kilkenny Castle, the Gallery was established by the Crafts Council of Ireland in 2000. The main focus of the gallery is on profiling the work of Irish designer-makers both in Ireland and abroad, developing relationships with Irish and international galleries and collectors, and inspiring appreciation, creativity and innovation through the gallery education programme.
National Design & Craft Gallery touring programme works with Irish and international venues and partners to bring critically acclaimed exhibitions to a wider audience.

‘Your Daily Adventure’ is loved by visitors. There is so much to enjoy, we’ve had to create six regional editions to cover every part of Ireland.
Each FREE edition is packed with up-to-date information on all there is to do, see and enjoy around Ireland. Watch out for them in your travels, or ask for them by name ‘Your Daily Adventure’. They are stocked in most places visitors’ frequent – particularly visitor-friendly accommodation!
