I'm sad to say that the NAMA side of things on Moore St covers no man in glory. I suspect that historians will see the Moore St Museum as a fitting mark of Ireland's cult of the property developer.

I'd say you get excited looking at those photos of Countess Markievitz

I had a rising this morning. It was tough, but I don't fancy commemorating it twice.

That's nothing,

I just came back from the 2116 Easter Rising celebration,
where Enda Kenny's Super AI/floating head gave a rousing speech to a packed O Connell street.......

Both will be half-arsed efforts, if previous 'interpretive centres' are anything to go by. One staffed by An Post drones and the other by bored teens.

Not sure what the issue is here.
Is it the building itself, or the location that is the problem?

Moore St. seems logical as it is just around the corner from the GPO

2 museums for a Bruce Springsteen album?
It was a great album & all but 1 museum would do.
