Visited a Museum in Cashel, Co Tipperary called Cashel Folk Village, http://www.cashelfolkvillage.ie and it was a very interesting experience. A small museum, based in an old pub, it was reminiscent of the interior of a private dwelling; the contents of someone’s cluttered back room. There was a wealth of information on Ireland’s turbulent history portrayed through written, photographic and AV material. There was a vast array of memorabilia on Irish culture, particularly the famine and the Civil War, two factors that have had an immense influence on the nation’s cultural identity.
I have left an email address with the proprietor so that I might be able to purchase some of the AV material shown at the museum. I also hope to maintain some form of contact over time, as he seems a very interesting and knowledgeable man on local history and may prove an invaluable source for my intended project.
