Art, Architecture, and Innovation: Studio GBM’s Mural for the Hunt Museum Café

Housed in one of Limerick City’s most significant examples of mid-eighteenth-century classical architecture, the Hunt Museum is an iconic landmark designed by Italian architect Daviso de Arcort. The recent refurbishment of its café space honours this rich history while introducing fresh artistic elements to enhance the visitor experience.


Studio GBM was honoured to be commissioned to produce a bespoke fine art print mural for the new space. As the only Irish company with the capacity to deliver fine art printing at such a large scale, we were uniquely positioned to bring this vision to life.

The company entered the large format digital print world in 1994, and we haven’t looked back since.

Rebranding and updating many times over the years imbues a sense of pride in all that this family company has been, clarity on where it is positioned currently and ambition as to what the vision for the future will be.
