As part of their 50th anniversary celebrations, Druid Theatre has partnered with Galway Civic Trust to present a unique exhibition in one of the city’s most historic spaces—the Hall of the Red Earl.
Rather than a conventional retrospective, this exhibition takes a site-specific approach, enhancing and responding to the archaeological features of the Hall in imaginative ways. It invites visitors to see both the theatre and the site through fresh eyes—exploring the interplay between Galway’s layered past and the enduring presence of its cultural institutions.
Set within the atmospheric medieval remains of Galway’s first municipal building, the installation offers a quiet yet powerful celebration of Druid’s relationship with place, history, and performance. It complements the Hall’s historic fabric while adding a contemporary artistic dimension that engages visitors in a new dialogue between heritage and the arts.
📍 Location: Hall of the Red Earl, Druid Lane, Galway
📅 Open daily to the public during regular hours
💸 Admission: Free
This is not just an exhibition—it is an experience that invites reflection on how culture continues to shape, and be shaped by, the spaces we inhabit. All are welcome to visit and explore this thoughtful collaboration between Druid Theatre and Galway Civic Trust.
