Teatime Talks is a series of talks inspired by the history and people of 14 Henrietta Street.
The building of Henrietta Street marked the beginning of the golden age of Georgian Dublin, a time of great prosperity and growth which transformed the cityscape into the one we know today.
So how did the once grand Georgian Dublin decline so sharply to become one of the poorest cities in the British Empire? Find out more about the rise and fall of Georgian Dublin with 14 Henrietta Street tour guide Pat Garry in this free online talk.
By listening and engaging with visitors, historians, experts, local people, former tenement residents and their families, we continue to uncover, record and respond to the 300 year story of 14 Henrietta Street.
We protect, share and add to the cultural life of the city. We tell stories, make connections and uncover history.
14 Henrietta Street is a social history museum of Dublin life, from one building’s Georgian beginnings to its tenement times. We connect the history of urban life over 300 years to the stories of the people who called this place home.
In intimate group tours, we bring to life the stories of the humans who lived in the house, their changing circumstances, their experience of family life, of politics, and the impact of world affairs.
By listening and talking with visitors, historians, local residents and their families and through the knowledge of others, the museum continues to discover new stories, gathering memories and adding to the museum’s collection and visitor experience.
