New Archive Collection in Cork Will Honor Richard Harris

It’s been 20 years since Richard Harris passed away, but time has certainly not diminished his legacy. The late actor, who played Albus Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter films, will be remembered in a new archive collection opening at the University College Cork (UCC). Donated by Harris’s estate, the items featured in the exhibit will include selections from over 50 years’ worth of memorabilia.

Richard Harris’s son, actor Jared Harris, described the donation as “a great relief,” explaining that the archive had been sitting in storage almost since his father’s passing. The family had worried that the items would be damaged by time and damp conditions, and subsequently searched for an option that would help to preserve Harris’s legacy. Jared Harris expressed approval of the collection finding a home at UCC, saying that the curriculum there would have had his father’s approval. “They have a school of film, theatre, drama, they do fantastic literature programmes and it seemed as though this dovetailed with what his passions were.”

  Today marks 20 years since the passing of the iconic actor Richard Harris.

  The late actor, whose extraordinary life is detailed in the recently released documentary The Ghost of Richard Harris, seems to have accumulated a vast treasury of mementos, both professional and personal. Among the items are the crown he wore as King Arthur in Camelot, two Golden Globes, and a letter from Daniel Radcliffe wishing Harris a good recovery while he was in the hospital. The exhibit will also feature his works of poetry, which his son hopes will be published in the future.

A notable part of the collection will be a testament to his love for his birth city of Limerick. Items will include plaques from his time as part of Young Munster, the local rugby union club, as well as other memorabilia honoring the history of the area itself. “Limerick was important to my father,” said Jared Harris, which is why the exhibit will first be displayed at the Hunt Museum in Limerick before being moved to Cork. “Richard Harris was one of Limerick’s favourite sons. He was always deeply proud of where he came from and we want this exhibit to appeal to everyone,” commented Hunt Museum’s director Jill Cousins. The museum aims to open the exhibit sometime in 2024 since the sizeable collection will take some time to organize.

    UCC anticipates receiving the archive thereafter and hopes to add it to the proposed new Treasures Gallery in the library. Dr. Barry Monahan, a lecturer in UCC’s School of Film, Music, and Theater, is enthusiastic about the new addition, stating that the collection “bridges important moments in the biography of the world-celebrated Irish actor, offering fascinating insights to aspects of his career and personality that might have been lost in the gap between his public and private stories.”

Elective Research - Hunt Museum Exhibition

I took a trip to the Hunt Museum today to see an exhibition of ceramics currently on show. I have had a fear that at some point I will be torn about which elective I will choose to specialize in, painting or ceramics, ceramics or painting. This exhibition only furthered my love for the notion of what can be accomplished in clay.

The exhibition is quite special. It brought about a serenity walking through the beautifully lit space, looking, observing and imagining my own creative potential.

Contemporary art exhibition continued

I really liked looking through this exhibition which showcase varioius contemporary artists, but these pieces within the exhibit, inspired me with its colour, form and texture and abstract feel.

Secondary research-Hunt museum gallery

I really found this piece quite interesting, and found it relates well to what I was researching within abstract movement. I like the colour palette and the design a lot, and was inspired for my own work, looking at these other contemporary artists within the gallery.

Flawless

Limerick’s former Custom House, today the Hunt Museum, dates from the second half of the 1760s when designed by architect Davis Ducart. His origins were uncertain: in 1768, William Brownlow wrote that he had ‘dropped into this Kingdom from the clouds, no one knows how, or what brought him to it’ although it has been proposed that Ducart – his original name Daviso de Arcort – may have been…

DESCRIBED AS A MILD STEEL NYMPHAEUM

A nymphaeum or nymphaion (Ancient Greek: νυμφαῖον), in ancient Greece and Rome, was a monument consecrated to the nymphs, especially those of springs.

CORTEN SCULPTURE OUTSIDE THE HUNT MUSEUM JUNE 2015 – NO LONGER AT THIS LOCATION Personally I like Corten steel sculptures or works of art but when I first saw this many years ago I was not 100% sure that it was not a skip or dumpster. Back in 2015 (or maybe earlier) a gentleman, who turned out to be a scrap dealer, asked me what I thought of this and then suggested that it was “real art” unlike…
