About the National Gallery of Ireland
The National Gallery of Ireland looks after the country's collection, which covers Irish art and European art. It is in central Dublin, and visitors can enter from Merrion Square, next to Leinster House, or from Clare Street. Its founding came in 1854, and the doors opened a decade later. The gallery's collection of Irish paintings is broad and representative, and its Italian Baroque and Dutch masters pictures are also notable.
The lawns of Leinster House hosted the Great Industrial Exhibition in 1853, and one of its most popular exhibits was a large art display that railway magnate William Dargan had organized and underwritten. The crowds' enthusiasm led to a decision to set up a permanent public collection of art, intended as a lasting tribute of thanks to Dargan. Francis Fowke drew up the design, with early plans by Charles Lanyon as its basis, and the gallery was finished and opened in 1864. At its opening the collection amounted to 112 paintings.
The Dowager Countess of Milltown signaled in 1897 that she would give the gallery the contents of Russborough House. The gift covered some 223 paintings, plus sculpture (48 pieces), 33 engravings, silver, furniture and a library, and it led to construction of the Milltown Wing in 1899–1903, designed by Thomas Newenham Deane. Frank DuBerry, working for the Office of Public Works, designed a new wing that opened in 1968 and is named the Beit Wing. The Millennium Wing, opened in 2002, has a Portland stone façade and grand atrium by the English architects Benson & Forsyth.

- Skylights on the roofs
- The roofs of the long wings carry rows of small skylight panels. Print friendly adapts these small details to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on a larger print.
- Regular window rows
- The fronts have tidy rows of windows. A larger print size keeps them, and 0.12–0.16 mm layers keep the lines crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- The National Gallery of Ireland is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The National Gallery of Ireland takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
