The Dublin Tenement Experience: Living the Lockout, is an innovative performance and interpretation-based exhibition, on Henrietta Street in Dublin’s North Inner City.
A joint initiative of Dublin City Council, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) and the Irish Heritage Trust, the exhibition is open to the public for two months, until the end of August at No.14 Henrietta Street. The 35-minute drama element of the experience is performed by the award-winning ANU Productions.
The former head of the SIPTU Legal Rights Unit, Michael Halpenny, was a historical advisor for the exhibition.
He said: “The house at Number 14 Henrietta Street, where the performance takes place, is virtually unchanged since 1913 and gives a glimpse of an authentic tenement home of the period. ‘Living the Lockout’ tells the story of that momentous event through the eyes and the words of ordinary workers and tenement dwellers of the time and in a manner which has already received the praise of visitors as a” must see”.
The exhibition has been listed as one of the “100” things to do in Dublin this summer by the Irish Times.
Number 14 Henrietta Street is open 6 days a week 10 am – 12pm and 2pm – 5pm (closed Wednesdays) from until the 31st August this year. Timed entry tickets are available from www.dublintenementexperience.com or the box office at Number 14 Henrietta Street – Admission €5 / Concessions €3.
