This temporary exhibition explores how central the River Shannon was to Limerick’s foundation and growth, from the early Viking settlement through Medieval Englishtown and Irishtown, to the city as we know it today.
Using photographs, ephemera and artefacts from the Limerick Museum collection, we examine how Limerick profited from its position at the mouth of the mighty Shannon and evolved with the river, enjoying its bounty. Curated by Sarah Kelly, John Elliott and Matthew Mulqueen, Shaped by the Shannon forms part of the wider celebrations of Riverfest across Limerick city.
