I believe the answer is:

fair-haired

'blonde' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'top class dublin gallery takes on excited' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'top' could be 'ai' (resembles A1, term for excellent) and 'ai' is present in the answer.
'class' could be 're' (Religious Education, school subject) and 're' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for fair-haired that I've seen is " Blond".)
