A portrait exhibition originated by artist Breda Mayock and photographed by Orla Sloyan, currently on display in the Courtyard Gallery at the National Museum of Ireland - Country Life.
This exhibition is part of a fascinating Mayo arts project entitled 'Crown - Hair and Indentity', which focuses on Traveller/Mincéiri women and girls and the subject of how hair is intrinsically linked to identity, ethnicity, culture and gender.

As a mark of respect, the National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, will be closed to the public from 1pm Friday, 13 Dec
The National Museum at Collins Barracks, will be open on Friday as usual
