	National Gallery of Ireland - Dublin
		The National Gallery of Ireland was founded in 1854, neither particularly early nor late in the history of museums - the Louvre dates to 1793, the Prado to 1819, London's National Gallery to 1824, the Metropolitan - a latecomer - to 1870.
		But a national gallery serves first its own people and Ireland's National Gallery houses an extensive collection of Irish art as well as a collection of European Old Master paintings.
		Perhaps it is unfair to compare Ireland's gallery to such a listing: Ireland is a far smaller country and cannot command the financial resources the others do.
