Sir William Orpen's knighthood medals are among the many items you'll probably never see again as they are on loan from private collectors. The exhibition Farmleigh House gallery ends this Sunday 25th Aug.

Magnificent William Orpen exhibition Farmleigh House ~ closing this Sunday, 25 August. So very fortunate to be guided around it by its brilliant curator, Sir William Orpen 1/2
More from the wonderful William Orpen exhibition Farmleigh House, closing this Sunday 25 August 2/2
I finally made it along to the fascinating pair of Orpen exhibitions at Farmleigh House. Amazing to see how generations of the Orpen family were not only gifted in the visual arts but used them so much in their communications. In Sir William Orpen that talent reached its zenith.
It is said that Sir William Orpen often placed this convex mirror on the wall behind his subjects as a surreptitious way of including a “selfie” in their finished portraits. Last chance to see the exhibition at Farmleigh House gallery tomorrow.
A family of Orpen’s visiting the ‘Sir William Orpen, A Family Legacy’ exhibition Farmleigh House gallery on the last day of its 6 month run. Staff tell me it has now exceeded 10,000 visitors. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Although the Sir William Orpen exhibition is over, there are 4 Orpen paintings on permanent display Farmleigh House And on the first Wednesday of each month, like many OPW Heritage Sites - Farmleigh offer a Free guided tour to independent/individual visitors & families.
