Museum appeals for donations of WWII memorabilia for exhibition

PEOPLE were asked to play their part last night in the creation of an exhibition of war memorabilia inspired by a tragic wartime play.

Cork Public Museum appealed to the public to donate any World War II items languishing in their attics which tell the personal story of life in Ireland during the Emergency.

The exhibition will be on display in Cork Opera House during the upcoming production of a new play, Lifeboat. The exhibits will later be added to the museum’s permanent collection.
