PHOTOGRAPHY: Ireland in Focus: Photographing the 1950s

The National Museum of Ireland – Decorative Arts & History in Collins Barracks have a superb exhibition of photography running until November. The exhibition highlights the way in which three photographers, from France and North America, saw and portrayed Ireland of the 1950s, through the places they visited and the people they photographed. There are lots of other great exhibitions running currently, making a trip to the museum the perfect way to while away a day in Dublin. As always, the museum is free to visit.
