We are hugely excited about these six 45-minute Zoom talks in which Professor David Dickson – author of the definitive history of Dublin – will tell the story of the city from the arrival of the Vikings in 841 to the arrival of Google in 2003.
So join us at The Dublin Lectures... and make this a meaningful lockdown! They start at 6pm next Tuesday, March 2nd, and at the same time every Tuesday until April 6th. Presented on Zoom, these talks will enlighten and delight anyone with an interest in Irish history.
 Tickets for the series cost €50, and your host, David Dickson, will answer questions after each talk. To buy a ticket for you – or someone you love – click here or ring Robbie on 085 163 0674.
While stocks last, you can also buy a signed copy of David’s highly acclaimed book, Dublin: The Making of a Capital City.

Our free weekly webcast continues to be popular with friends of the museum. This week on 120 Dublin Stories, Sarah will be joined by two legends of the museum world – Mark Leslie, of Martello Media, and Tomislav Sola, founder of the Best in Heritage Conference.
The conversation will explore Mark and Tomislav's fascinating careers, the experience of exhibiting Irish history, reflections on museum trends, the science of public memory and principles of exhibition design. And, as always we welcome your questions.

You cannot shop in person right now because of the wretched pandemic. But the experience of shopping online has vastly improved in recent months, as our director observed in the Irish Times last Saturday.
The museum's online shop stocks a small but perfectly formed collection of books, toys and gifts. Why not browse here and see if something catches your eye?

To get you in the creative mood, watch last year's winner, “The Chancers’ Guide to Dublin,” produced by Aoife Noonan and directed by Ben O’Connor. It is now available to view on the RTE Player.
The great actor Gabriel Byrne had this advice for filmmakers applying to tell their story:
“In my experience, it's the tiny things - the unremarkable - that which we pass by every day that illuminates a much bigger truth. Try to find the things you take for granted."

“Spring drew on…and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that Hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps.”
