1907 Great Exhibition in Herbert Park, DublinÂ
In 1907, a Great Exhibition was held in Dublin. It was centered on Herbert Park in Donnybrook, which was in fact created particularly for this event. It was a huge exhibition, and over 2.5 million people saw it during the four months it was in place. The Chairman of the Organising Committee was the Marquess of Ormonde, so there is an interesting Kilkenny connection.  100 years later, the RDS commissioned a Commemorative Exhibition. This was co-curated by Brian Siggins of the Old Dublin Society and John Holohan. The RDS have kindly lent the exhibition to Rothe House, and it will be on show during the month of September, in the ground floor of the Third House.
The Exhibition is part of the overall tour of the House & Garden. Â Â
