New exhibition unveiled

The GAA Museum has unveiled its new temporary exhibition, ‘GAA — A Global Phenomenon’.

The temporary exhibition will run until spring 2013 and provides an overview of the history and development of the GAA overseas from 1884 to the present day.

It covers the worldwide GAA, focusing on the association’s development in key regions including Britain, North America, Australasia, Asia, Europe and Canada.

The exhibition includes artefacts from the museum’s own collection and material from the GAA Archive, in addition to material from other institutions including Kerry County Museum (Tralee) and Lár na Páirce (Thurles) as well as items from various clubs and units overseas.

The material on display is complemented with archive footage from the 1947 All-Ireland Football final between New York and Cavan which was played at the Polo Grounds, alongside recent documentary footage “An Exile’s Home in the Bronx”.
