The Luan Gallery in Athlone reopened to the public today (Tuesday), with the launch of a new exhibition entitled 'Crowded Thresholds'.

The gallery said it will be operating at a limited capacity, with a one-way system in place to help ensure the safety of visitors.

"We greatly appreciate your patience as we adjust to our new normal and look forward to welcoming you back," said the gallery's management on social media.

'Crowded Thresholds' is a group exhibition, curated by Fiona Mulholland, which presents works across applied art, design, and visual art.

The exhibition is scheduled to be on display at the local venue from today until September 20 next, following its opening run at the National Design & Craft Gallery, Kilkenny and touring exhibition at Farmleigh Gallery, Dublin.
