This walking tour starts on the Northside of Dublin’s famous river Liffey at the CHQ building at the Docklands and beside the pedestrian Sean O’Casey bridge. This tour focuses on the more modern and also contemporary public art that adorns our city, dating from the present day and back to the formation of the Irish State in the 1920s.
The narrative of this tour has a strong overlap with Irish history as many modern art works reflect and express our past , such as the monuments to the Great Famine of the 1840s. The tour finishes in St Stephen’s Green at Henry Moore’s iconic bronze tribute to W.B Yeats, on the south side of the river Liffey.
