The Crawford Art Gallery in Cork has announced it will temporarily close to the public for a four-week period later this month. From March 21 to April 21, the building will close for investigative works that are part of a major renovation of the building. 

Crawford director Mary McCarthy said that by undertaking the investigative works now, it would help ensure less interruption when the project goes into its major construction phase in mid-2023.
