🎨 Glebe Gallery

Glebe House and Glebe Gallery are located just outside the town of Letterkenny near Churchill. The house was built in 1828. The English portrait and landscape painter Derek Hill lived and worked there from 1954 until he presented the house and his art collection to the Irish state in 1982. Hill's former studio has been converted into a modern gallery with changing exhibitions while his art collection is shown in his former home together with European and oriental furniture and William Morris wallpapers and fabrics. The collection includes works by Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Louis le Brocquy, Graham Sutherland, Auguste Renoir, Jack Butler Yeats, Oskar Kokoschka, Patrick Swift and the native Tory Island painter, James Dixon.
