@Fiona_Forde_Irl @echolivecork Just around the corner from our place! It reminds us of this cute little detail from the painting Cork's Northside by Patrick Hennessy. It probably dates to the 1940s.
Tune in to @RTEOne at 9:35pm for #TheHunger: The Story of the Irish Famine.
This new documentary is informed by @CorkUP's landmark Atlas of the Great Irish Famine (2012), which bears our collection work, The Eviction (c.1850) by Cork artist Daniel Macdonald, as its cover image.
From twilight to moonlight...
Close inspection of this summertime landscape, painted c.1835 by Irish artist James Arthur O'Connor, reveals a wealth of nocturnal river activity.
This painting entered the collection in 1998 through the Fr McGrath Bequest. #MuseumsUnlocked
We draw today's #MuseumsUnlocked thread to a close with a light-hearted drawing from Jack B. Yeats...
Found on the verso of another drawing, this image depicts a boy in roller skates coming to the aid of another whose foot has become stuck in a hole in a sidewalk. Growing pains!
Right in the middle of @CorkScience Festival and @ScienceWeek, we've got a great Cork-themed activity for young art, science and history fans alike!

After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.
