 The
Hunt Museum, Limerick City
4 miles from Iroko House
The Hunt Collection is an internationally important collection
of some 2,000 original works of art and antiquity. It is a personal
collection formed by John and Gertrude Hunt who selected each
piece according to the quality of its design, craftsmanship
and artistic merit. These criteria were applied to objects from
all periods of the past - from the Stone Age to the twentieth
Century.
Among the many important works of art in the Collection are
the personal seal of Charles I, King of England, the Mary Queen
of Scots Cross, a coin revered since the Middle Ages as being
one of 'the 30 pieces of Silver' and a bronze horse by Leonardo
da Vinci. There are also paintings by Renoir, Picasso, O'Conor
and Yeats. .
