University College Cork is one of Ireland’s oldest universities and it is still at the heart of the city, with more than 14,000 students and a leading research centre. Within this complex of historic buildings is the Honan Chapel with its famous stained glass windows and the 19th century Crawford Observatory. The Lewis Glucksman Art Gallery aims to explore all aspects of visual culture and presents a range of innovative, changing exhibitions. It also has an excellent bookshop and a basement cafe.
