Meeting point Matheson Creativity Hub
Join Barry Kehoe, historian and member of IMMA’s Visitor Engagement Team, for a bespoke exploration of IMMA and the Royal Hospital Kilmainham in search of the lost Priory of the Knights Hospitallers. Barry will take you on a historical journey unveiling the morphology of the hill terrace of Kilmainham from the earliest bronze age settlement, through to its monastic settlement and Viking Occupation. He will discuss the occupation by the crusading Knights hospitallers before the re-engineering of the land to accommodate the baroque neoclassical Royal Hospital.
