Welcome to the Chester Beatty

Ireland’s leading museum of world cultures.

Chester Beatty at Home

Tabhair do d’aire go mbeidh an Chester Beatty dúnta don phobal ón 15 Meitheamh go dtí deireadh mhí na Nollag 2026 chun Uachtaránacht an AE a éascú. Gabh ár leithscéal as aon mhíchaoithiúlacht agus is mór againn do thuiscint.

Tá an Fhoireann Oideachais chun Clár Chester Beatty, a mbíonn an-tóir air i gcónaí, a thabhairt chuig roinnt áiteanna ar fud na cathrach, leabharlanna agus páirceanna Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath ina measc. Chun tuilleadh eolais a fháil faoi na suíomhanna agus na himeachtaí éagsúla, féach an Clár Imeachtaí.

Please be advised that the Chester Beatty is closed to the public from 15 June to the end of December 2026, to facilitate the EU Presidency. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.

Our Education Team is taking the ever-popular Chester Beatty programme throughout the city to a number of locations including Dublin City Libraries and parks. For more details on locations and events see our What’s On guide.
