“Born in 1856, George Bernard Shaw is considered Ireland's most famous playwright. Although he left Ireland forever in 1876 to live in England, Shaw remained a very Irish author. The statue honoring Mr. Shaw stands right outside the National Gallery nearby to the Liffey River. Shaw wrote that he owed his education to the National Gallery, and upon his death left one-third of his wealth to the Museum.”
