Dunamaise Arts Centre is hosting ‘Monumental Ireland - A New Focus’, a stunning new collection of photographs of Ireland’s finest archaeological monuments, curated by the National Monuments Service (NMS) in partnership with the Office of Public Works (OPW) from March 14 to April 30.
Minister for Heritage Malcolm Noonan officially opened the exhibition which offers a fresh perspective on Ireland’s ancient monuments. The exhibition provides in one space, an accessible and breath-taking gaze at a range of monuments that tell the story of Ireland.
The photos are from the National Monuments Service Photographic Unit, originally set up in 1955. The unit has built upon its collection of photographs over the years and this archive is now approaching 550,000 images, mainly of national monuments and historic properties in State care.
