Okay okay, pretty sure we’ve now got our #DigitalCork19 outfit sorted (inspired by one Bessie Penrose!)... Cool heads and no ‘drunken fauns’ @No1CorkHotel this evening.
We’re nominated for 4 awards! Best of luck to our fellow finalists 😉🤞😅
This WORK OF THE WEEK is giving us autumn vibes!
Time Flies by William Gerard Barry is one of the most beloved works in the collection. Exhibited @royalacademy in 1887, the painting glows with seasonal colours as it meditates on the passage of time.
Catch it in SEEN, NOT HEARD!
@Fiona_Forde_Irl @Twitter @ApisProtect @corkindo @ILeyden @republicofwork @pure_cork @St_Michaels_CU Woohoo! Congratulations and best of luck to all finalists. See you @No1CorkHotel on 11 October. Game on! #DigitalCork19
On closer inspection, the figure on the right is more than ready to make her play, while an open scissors dangling from her left hand suggests the potential for domestic drama...

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing!
Long before that was possible, James Arthur O’Connor painted this moon-gazing nocturnal beauty.
Moonlight Scene (c.1835) from our collection is currently on loan to @doneraileopw. #MoonLanding50 #Apollo50
@MARYMCCARTHY001 @Rachel_Kuhn_ @orncgreenwich @michaeljwaldron Our recent #TheFigReveal project saw sculpture conservator Eoghan Daltun removing fig leaves from our #CanovaCasts. This was done live in our Sculpture Galleries for practical reasons, but also as a means to share ongoing conservation work with our visitors in an engaging format.
All this talk of #FaceApp got us thinking... if our 200 year old Casts could age like the rest of us, what would they look like?
Well, perfect Apollo, Dionysus, and Venus seem unhappy about it. But, if anything, mere mortal Letizia Ramolino Bonaparte looks happier than ever!
Day 2 of #TheFigReveal took on the daddy of them all... Laocoön and His Sons, that is!
Today’s conservation work involved Eoghan Daltun removing fig leaves from three figures. What lay beneath is remarkably intact and matches well with the @Musei_Vaticani original. #Midsummer19
