The collections predate those of the Royal Dublin Society, founded in 1731, and the establishment of the National Gallery of Ireland, founded by an Act of Parliament in 1854 and opened in 1864. The collections represent in the main, painting, print, sculpture, and statuary, with a significant historical focus on portraiture. The modern collection was effectively initiated in 1959 by George Dawson, Genetics professor, when he and a group of students introduced the ‘College Gallery’ hire scheme. Original Irish and international artworks along with original prints and artists’ posters were actively acquired for display in student and staff rooms on campus to encourage an interest in, and a critical eye for, modern and contemporary art. This scheme generated such an interest across the College and beyond that it catalysed the conscious promotion, support, and involvement in the visual arts at Trinity by means of acquisitions, commissions, exhibitions, student societies, the establishment of a related teaching department, and the aesthetic modernisation of the campus environment.

An Bailiúchán Ealaíne Tá traidisiún 300 bliain ag Coláiste na Tríonóide Baile Átha Cliath maidir le saothar ealaíne a choimisiúnú agus a bhailiú. Is le 1710 a bhaineann an taifead ar phictiúir is sine dar fios dúinn sa Choláiste, agus is le 1601 a bhaineann an saothar is túisce. Tá na bailiúcháin sin níos sine ná cinn Chumann Ríoga Bhaile Átha Cliath, a bunaíodh i 1731, agus b’ann dóibh sular bunaíodh Gailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann le hAcht Parlaiminte in 1854 agus a osclaíodh in 1864. Pictiúir, priontaí, dealbhóireacht agus dealbha atá sna bailiúcháin, go príomha, agus tá béim mhór stairiúil ar phortráidíocht. George Dawson, ollamh le Géineolaíocht, a chuir tús leis an mbailiúchán nua-aimseartha i 1959 nuair a thug sé féin agus grúpa mac léinn an scéim fruilithe ‘Gailearaí an Choláiste’ isteach. Chuathas i mbun saothar ealaíne bunaidh ó Éirinn agus ó thíortha eile, chomh maith le priontaí agus póstaeir bunaidh ealaíontóirí a fháil go gníomhach le taispeáint i seomraí mac léinn agus foirne ar an gcampas le suim sa nua-ealaíon agus san ealaíon chomhaimseartha, agus le tuiscint chriticiúil orthu a spreagadh. Mhúscail an scéim sin an oiread sin suime ar fud an Choláiste agus lasmuigh de, gurb é ba chúis le cur chun cinn, tacaíocht agus rannpháirtíocht chomhfhiosach sna físealaíona i gColáiste na Tríonóide trí shaothair a fháil, a choimisiúnú agus a thaispeáint, trí chumainn na mac léinn, trí roinn teagasc ghaolmhar a bhunú, agus trí nuachóiriú aeistéiticiúil a chur ar thimpeallacht an champais.
