Dubliners Exhibition, a photograpic account of city life in the early 20th century, currently showing at the National Photographic Archive.
As part of the ReJoyce festival the National Photographic Archive has decided to mount another showing of the highly successful 2001 exhibition, Dubliners. Dubliners is a unique photographic record of life in the city at the turn of the century, a period immortalised in the works of James Joyce. Featuring pictures of St Stephens Green and Nassau Street in the early 1900s, the exhibition is a fascinating insight into how much the city has changed over the last century. The exhibition also helps you imaginatively delve into the world of Leopold Bloom, Stephen Daedalus and a whole host of Joycean characters.
The National Library's photographic collections comprise approximately 300,000 photographs, complied from a wide range of historical and contemporary collections. The collection is now housed in the National Photographic Archive on the corner of Meeting House Square in Temple Bar. The Dubliners exhibition will run from March the 8th until the end of August. So, if you're a fan of Joyce's literary works or you have an interest in how Dublin looked one hundred years ago check out the Dubliners exhibition in the National Photographic Archive.
