Exhibitions
Telling the stories of the story-tellers
These exhibitions celebrate and explore 91¸£ÀûÉç Northern Ireland's past, whether through describing the development of local 91¸£ÀûÉç journalism through Chronicle, looking at the contributions made by particular individuals, such as Louis MacNeice in Castles on the Air, or considering the impact of television in Magic Box.
Many of them have toured local museums and libraries and have been used as the foundation for associated talks and events.
No single exhibition or series of collections could encapsulate every aspect of 91¸£ÀûÉç's role in local and community life, but our aim is to encourage awareness of the contribution which 91¸£ÀûÉç radio and television have made in providing a theatre, concert hall and debating chamber of the airwaves.
