Highlanes Municipal Art Gallery opened its doors on October 4, 2006 and is the culmination of many years planning to deliver a dedicated visual art space for the Irish north east region, of an international standard in terms of design, management, environmental control and security. The gallery is sited in the former Drogheda Franciscan Church and part of the Friary; known locally as the ‘High Lane Church’. The Franciscans gifted the property to the people of Drogheda when they ended their 760 year association with the town in 2000. The buildings date from the early 19th century, though elements date back to earlier times and include the former Franciscan burial crypts. The main exhibition spaces are open plan and include the old Church level and a new floor at the height of the old balcony and as such, the character of the building is not lost.

Now in its 10th year, Highlanes Gallery is the permanent host of the Drogheda Municipal Art Collection, and frequently hosts exhibitions of works by major artists from Ireland and abroad. Their enthusiastic staff are dedicated to assisting visitors, and whether they want to learn more about the works on display, or want to spend time relaxing in the gallery’s peaceful atmosphere, Highlanes Gallery is committed to providing a space where anyone may have a fulfilling arts experience.
