| Little Museum & Military Archives Partnership Launch |
|
Rarely Seen Revolutionary Artefacts |
|
On 26th March, we launched a major new partnership with the Military Archives that will bring a remarkable collection of rarely seen artefacts into public view for the next five years. |
|
| Lt (NS) Niall McCarthy, Dr Daryl Hendley Rooney and Cmdt Daniel Ayiotis at the launch of the new partnership. |
|
Most of the objects are drawn from the Brother Allen Collection, which was donated to the Edmund Rice Trust and presented to the Military Archives in 2015 to commemorate the centenary of the Easter Rising in 2016.
A decade later, these deeply personal and nationally important items are on display, offering visitors to the Little Museum a timely, rare and intimate insight into the lives of those who shaped Ireland’s revolutionary period.

Comings and Goings in LMoD |

Thank you to a great Dubliner |
|
Sarah Clancy joined the Little Museum as our Development Director in 2013. In 2018, Sarah was appointed as Deputy Director of the museum, and two years later, she was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer – a role she leaves this week after thirteen very successful years of leadership in the museum.
LMoD has become bigger and better during that time, and its present good health is very much to Sarah’s credit. A superb leader, she has guided the institution through significant milestones with enormous dedication, charm and diligence.
We wish Sarah continued success, and thank her for her brilliant service to the museum and, indeed, to Dublin. |

| Malton's Dublin
No. 2: The Upper Castle Yard, Dublin Castle
Dublin Castle was the seat of British power in Ireland. First built in 1204, the Castle would eventually house the courts, the council chambers, the parliament and a particular frame of mind that blinded itself to Irish suffering. Unlike many imperial monuments, the Castle remains largely intact. This plate is the most unchanged of Malton’s views, although there are subtle differences in its appearance today. For example, the tower and spire of St Werburgh’s Church in the background of the picture were later removed on grounds of safety.
Each month we share a Malton view. Visit the museum to see the full collection.

The Days That Were In It – Must Close Sunday, May 3rd |

Don't Miss This Snapshot of Dublin |
|
Mick Brown’s remarkable collection of photographs and exhibition The Days That Were In It provide a photographic record of Dublin’s street life – communities of people at work and play from 1960 to 1990.
From the Iveagh Market to the Capitol Theatre, here is a Dublin that has vanished from view, yet still feels strangely familiar. Brown’s photography offers a panoramic view of the capital – and of those days on empty streets where old ghosts meet.
This exhibition closes on Sunday, May 3rd. Don't miss this extraordinary snapshot of Dublin in bygone years.
Read about the exhibition in this article from The Irish Times. |
