John and Gertrude Hunt presented their magnificent collection to the people of Ireland, intending it as a resource for the encouragement of a greater appreciation of art objects. This gift is one of the most generous in the nation's history. The Irish Government and Limerick City and County Councils have been generous in their support of the Museum, but state support alone is not sufficient to realise the dream of John and Gertrude Hunt; to create a dynamic centre of excellence in the arts and education, a cultural beacon of international renown.
