‘HEADHUNTERS’ IN TRIM

The ‘Headhunter’ exhibition has been touring the west of Ireland since May, starting in the Blasket Centre and moving through Aran, Connemara and on to Meath where it has just opened in the spectacular building that is the headquarters of the OPW – by architect Pat Boyle of the OPW and worth a look in itself. The Headhunter project was developed with support from the OPW.

It is on show there until the 14 December and this is the last chance to see the exhibition in the Pale. It moves back west in December when it goes on show in the National Museum of Ireland, Country Life in Castlebar.
