After the Great War: A New Europe 1918–1923

Temporary Exhibition running from the May 20 to June 14, 2022.

When did the First World War really end? How many new states appeared on the map back then?

How long did the military operations continue despite the ending of the war?


Prepared by the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity (ENRS) in cooperation with an international circle of historians, the exhibition marks an attempt to summarise the tumultuous beginnings of the interwar period, with particular emphasis on the history of East-Central Europe.
The commemoration of the Great War in Ireland has a complex history. While Republican communities tended to focus on the 1916 Easter Rising, obscuring the First World War from public memory, the focal point for the cultural memory of the war in Unionist communities was the Battle of the Somme.
 
The exhibition is an attempt to synthesise the turbulent beginning of the interwar period. Over 200 archive and multimedia materials – pictures, maps and films –  together with individual stories of those who lived then present a complex yet coherent picture of New Europe. The main goal of the travelling project is to illustrate the scale of the political changes and their impact on current politics as well as to reveal different national memories.


Since 2018, the display has so far been on show in 11 European countries, in such  cities as Prague, Sarajevo, Bratislava, Verdun, Berlin, Warsaw, Vienna, Vilnius and Tallinn.

The presentation of the exhibition in Dublin is co-funded by the European Union
and carried out in cooperation with the National Museum of Ireland, the Glencree Centre for Peace & Reconciliation and the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Dublin.
