A wonderful article on the exhibition, Words on the Wave: Ireland and St. Gallen in Early Medieval Europe, at the National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology.
These Medieval Monks Scribbled Notes in the Margins of Their Books More Than 1,000 Years Ago
A new exhibition in Dublin showcases historic manuscripts written in Irish monasteries. The show also features medieval artifacts, such as a rare book shrine found in a river in the 1980s

A beautifully evocative exhibition at the National Gallery of Ireland: 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘯𝘯𝘦 𝘉𝘶𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘳: 𝘈𝘵 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦.
I was first enthralled by the artist's sumptuous work as a VSO at Butler Gallery, and I'm glad to see this celebration of her significant contribution to Irish art.
Closes 5th Jan. '25!

Lots of starter packs out there, but haven't seen any for architectural history yet, so I assembled one.
Please send along suggestions for additions. The pack is broadly conceived (architecture / urbanism / landscape) and covers any period, but should focus on history / theory.

So France has used latex poultice to remove all the patina from one of their cathedrals to make it look like it's made out of milky bars. oh well. at least they've changed the bulbs from ugly gas-discharge to LEDs.

On Tuesday, I so enjoyed the (sold-out) Inaugural Lecture by Professor Christine Casey (TCD), entitled ‘The wisdom of hands: craft practice in architecture.'
It was particularly insightful to hear about a bottom-up approach in relation to making and meaning in eighteenth-century architecture.
