New Title: Art Researchers’ Guide to Dublin

Editors: Olivia Fitzpatrick & Rose Roberto
ISBN: 978-0-9562763-3-9
Publisher: ARLIS/UK & Ireland and the RDS

Introduction by:
Christine Casey, Trinity College Dublin

Dublin is the gateway to Ireland.   From its Viking origins it grew to be one of Europe's leading centres for music, literature and art.    In the 18th century Dublin reached a high point, when wealth and patronage fostered skilled artists, builders and craftsmen who put a distinctive Hibernian stamp on their work in the Georgian idiom of the time. Today Dublin is a thriving modern city with pride in the educational and cultural institutions from its past.


This handbook describes many of these institutions along with more recently established collections on modern art, design and architecture. It will allow you to explore the city more fully and direct you to the most appropriate places to suit your research needs.


Special features include:
 
• a city-wide map

 • at-a-glance navigation icons
 
• a time-saving subject index to collections
 
• a glimpse into each site with full-colour images
