Virtual Exhibit at The National Famine Museum at Strokestown, County Roscommon
This work is associated with The National Famine Museum at Strokestown, County Roscommon, where a panel of experts were assembled at a conference in Sept. 2020 to discuss the nature of the ‘Cottier’s houses, or 4th class cabins’, which were the people and their homes that were largely swept away during the Great famine. Kinmonth spoke about the nature of their possessions, what may have been inside these poor single and two roomed houses. There is a film starring all the expert contributors concerned, then three shorter films about the cabins’ contents, discussed by Claudia, that can be seen further down the same link.
