Bank of Ireland Arts Centre

Bank of Ireland’s biggest branch, facing Trinity College, was founded in 1729 as the Parliament of Independent Ireland. With the passing of the Act of Union in 1801, this massive building was sold to the Bank of Ireland and still adheres to tradition by having a guard in a top hat and tailcoat, and a coal fire in the lobby. You can visit the former House of Lords and tours also occur in the Arts Centre. Look out for free concerts in the bank's Arts Centre. http://www.boi.ie/artscentre
