In 1996 a group of Dublin printers, called the Chapel, saw what was happening and the skills that were at risk of being lost forever. They banded together to push for the creation of a @NatPrintMuseum which celebrates its 30th birthday.

Agreed @RMcGreevy1301. This is a great little exhibition that manages to incorporate industrial history, design history and social history in a way that's genuinely engaging. Well done @NatPrintMuseum.
Fascinating exhibition at the @NatPrintMuseum curated by Dr Linda King and opened by @davidmccullagh. It tells the story of a group of Dutch designers who reimagined how to market Irish aviation and tourism in the 1950s and 60s. Seán Lemass, the subject of my latest book, was a champion of Irish aviation and founded Aer Lingus in 1936 and Dublin Airport in 1940. Shannon Airport was also opened on his watch.
