JAMES JOYCE: APOCALYPSE & EXILE Selected dates visit website
EXHIBITION ON SCREEN: THE IMPRESSIONISTS
Delve deep into the mind of iconic Irish writer James Joyce at Marsh’s Library’s latest fascinating exhibition, Apocalypse & Exile.
This unique collection of visual art is presented by the artists themselves, so as you browse the exhibition you can chat with the creators about the work on show.
Discover just what James Joyce read when he visited Marsh’s Library way back in 1902, and see how these readings throw new light on his attitudes to Catholicism, heresy and Irish history itself.
From the Musée du Luxembourg Paris, National Gallery London and Philadelphia Museum of Art, lucky viewers can uncover the story of art’s greatest revolutionaries in this stunning screened exhibition at the Lighthouse Cinema this May. The works of Cezanne, Monet, Degas and their compatriots fetch tens of millions of dollars.
