Kilmainham Gaol Museum is delighted to host Objects, War and Memory in Ireland past and present, an exhibition created by Professor Joanna Brück of the UCD School of Archaeology in association with seven people from around the world who came to Ireland as refugees. It explores how objects tell stories of courage, resilience, love and hope in the face of conflict. describe objects they have brought from home and what these mean to them. Interspersed with these personal stories are the stories of objects from Kilmainham Gaol Museum, revealing resonances between the contemporary experiences of refugees and experiences of war, oppression and in Ireland’s recent past.
