Presented by National Museum of Ireland – Decorative Arts & History.

Join Museum guide Shannon Callahan in this pre-recorded pop-up talk and learn about the tricolor flag raised above the Mendicity Institute during the 1916 Rising.

This is part of a series of short films produced by the Education team at Collins Barracks focusing on artefacts previously on display in the Proclaiming a Republic – The 1916 Rising, at the National Museum of Ireland – Decorative Arts & History, Collins Barracks from 2016-2020. Our Guides and members of our team were asked to select an object from the exhibition that resonated with them in some way and give a short talk about the object.

Please note this talk is pre-recorded. The film will be available to view on Facebook and YouTube.
