If you’re in Dublin over the next few weeks then a visit to Dublin Fragments, The Peter Pearson Collection, is thoroughly recommended. Peter Pearson is an artist, author of books on Dublin’s historic buildings and a savior of several buildings and numerous artifacts which now make up this fascinating collection. This exhibition includes a sales exhibition of Peter’s thoughtful captures (on canvas) of historic Dublin and is currently being hosted at the building on South William Street, Dublin 2. Opening times: Tuesday to Sunday 10am to 5pm until 22 March 2020.
