Exhibitions at Tory Top Library

 Exhibition : The Traveller History of the Black Ash

The Kinsale Road Roundabout and the Black Ash area were once an important place for nomadic Irish Travellers. Check out the Exhibition of the Black Ash Traveller Oral History project and the traditions and lives of the families who lived there. This Exhibition is presented by the Cork Traveller Women’s Network as part of the Lifelong Learning Festival.


Irish-Polish Exhibition on Great Famine

Paul Strzelecki’ struggle to save Irish children during the Great Famine, considers how a Polish man came to save thousands of Irish children during the Great Famine of the 1840s. Strzelecki learnt about the devastating impact of the potato blight. This motivated him to put his own life at risk. Strzelecki and his life in many ways embody the themes of emigration, nationalism, globalisation and humanitarianism which form our modern world.
