The gallery has reopened after a six-year refurbishment with an exhibition of Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675), the Dutch artist man who painted Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Tropical Popical, a Dublin-based nail salon that Saoirse Ronan brought to international fame on the Ellen DeGeneres TV show last year, has been asked to come into the gallery to recreate Vermeer’s artwork on to people’s nails.
