Title: A history of Ireland in 100 objects
Description: Objects don't just have stories, they tell stories. But what they said to their contemporaries may be different from what they say to us. Whether it's a silver tea urn from Georgian Dublin or an illuminated page from the Book of Kells, these objects help us gain a more complex understanding of our past. Over the past two years Fintan O'Toole has chosen 100 objects, the majority of which can be found in the National Museum of Ireland, to narrate a history of the island of Ireland.
