Monumental Ireland is a photographic exhibition of some of Ireland’s finest archaeological monuments and will take place at the Printworks, Dublin Castle, from 8-12 February 2023.
The exhibition is curated by the National Monuments Service (NMS) in partnership with the Office of Public Works (OPW). Offering fresh new perspectives on these ancient monuments, the exhibition highlights both the resilience of these monuments and their vulnerability. The exhibition provides in one space an accessible and breathtaking gaze at a range of monuments that tell the story of Ireland.
The exhibition includes over 100 images and 7 videos and features a remarkable new video of the world-renowned Winter Solstice phenomenon at Newgrange passage tomb, captured in 2021. As part of a two year research project between NMS and OPW, imagery captured from a high resolution camera in the burial chamber and controlled via an internet connection, has shown the dawn sun rays illuminating the chamber as never previously captured, enabling this phenomenon to be witnessed by everyone.
The exhibition in The Printworks in Dublin Castle. Entry is free and it runs from 8-12 February.
