14 Henrietta Street - Making a Museum - Remembering the tenements: The sense of community

Описание: Making a Museum, is a series of videos that takes a look at some of the key historical research, conservation and restoration work that went in to creating 14 Henrietta Street. In this series of short films former tenement residents share with us their memories of life in Dublin's tenements.In this film they talk to us about their memories of the sense of community.

We protect, share and add to the cultural life of the city. We tell stories, make connections and uncover history.

14 Henrietta Street is a social history museum of Dublin life, from one building’s Georgian beginnings to its tenement times. We connect the history of urban life over 300 years to the stories of the people who called this place home.

In intimate small-group tours, we bring to life the stories of the humans who passed through the house, their changing circumstances, their experience of family life, of politics, and the impact of world affairs.

By listening and talking with visitors, historians, local residents and their families and through the knowledge of others, the museum continues to discover new stories, gathering memories and adding to the museum’s collection and visitor experience.
