The Little Museum of Dublin
Georgian townhouse museum built entirely from artefacts donated by ordinary residents telling the city's story.
This guide to The Little Museum of Dublin traces how the museum came to exist at all: in late 2010, magazine publisher Trevor White walked into Dublin City Council with an idea for a museum about the city itself, but no building, no collection and no money. You'll hear how his negotiation with council officials Declan Wallace and Michael Stubbs over a Georgian house on Saint Stephen's Green nearly went nowhere, and how a radio appeal brought in over a thousand donated objects within a fortnight, from a stained-glass panel to a decree signed by Eamon de Valera. Listen for the pot of Sudocrem among them, invented by a Dublin pharmacist.
