Visitors to art galleries here never get lost in a maze of rooms; they spend time pondering a handful of thought provoking works. And that is why Temple Bar’s blend of cultural riches is so endearing: everything is on a human scale, accessible and intimate, from art, theatre, galleries, festivals and comedy to fashion, design, dance and films. The small size of the cultural institutions, from museums to street performers, means that they can risks with stimulating performances and exhibits. So when the crowds gather for spectacles on Meeting House Square, don’t overlook the aspiring crooners and saxophone players singing personal serenades down the side streets.
