The current official notice
The official visitor page reports closure from 15 June through the end of December 2026. Chester Beatty is inside the Dublin Castle grounds. Do not plan a museum visit or use it as an indoor rain fallback during the closure.
What to do with the time
For an art-led alternative, consider the National Gallery after checking current notices. For material history, use Archaeology and its day-specific hours. Those are replacements in the plan, not claims that the collections are equivalent.
Before a later visit
Before reinstating this stop for a later date, check an explicit reopening notice and access to the surrounding campus. A prospective reopening is not proof that a particular day or entrance is available.
