1916 Exhibition in the County Library

Wednesday last, the 13th of April, we went to the library to meet Michael Moylan who styles himself as the curator of 'The Musuem That Comes to You'. Within the hour he had taken us through several hundred years of Irish rebellions, in a manic whirlwind and of dress-up and whimsy, before focusing the Easter Rising. The girls got to get their hands on history and had a great time.
