Dublin City Hall has launched a heartwarming new exhibition titled Memories Made in Dublin City, celebrating the personal stories and experiences that define life in the capital.
The exhibition was officially opened by Lord Mayor Emma Blain on 24 May 2025.
This unique showcase features a collection of photographs, stories, videos, poems, and songs contributed by individuals from Dublin, across Ireland, and around the world. The aim is to bring together cherished memories of special times spent in Dublin, highlighting the city's rich tapestry of community life.
The exhibition supports one of the Lord Mayor's initiatives to actively engage in positive ageing planning and care for the elderly within our communities, as well as to raise awareness of dementia in Dublin.
