When I started as Keeper of Natural History in 2001 at @nmireland.bsky.social I was surprised to find staff shushing excited young visitors, so I asked them to stop. It’s good to have at least some quiet time for visitors who prefer it. Tiptoe your way through the temporary exhibition this Saturday

#ManuscriptMonday from a flying visit to Words on the Wave @nmireland.bsky.social 📚

An exquisite show with wonderful archaeological objects, but always a joy to see books at the heart of an exhibition.

We extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Dr. Martin Mansergh on his passing. A distinguished historian, statesman, and advocate for Irish heritage whose legacy will long be felt across the cultural institutions of Ireland.
