New exhibition on Tuam Mother and Baby Home opens at Galway City Museum

A new exhibition on the Tuam Mother and Baby Home, and other institutions, has opened at Galway City Museum.

It's the first installation of its kind in Ireland, and is the result of a collaboration between University of Galway and Galway City Museum.

Survivor Stories: Tuam and Ireland's Institutional Past tells the stories of 18 survivors, through audio and visual exhibits, with an accompanying podcast.

It provides an insight into Ireland's historic treatment of single mothers and their children, and the legacy issues still faced by survivors today.

The exhibition will run at Galway City Museum from now until this September, and there will be a programme of public talks, workshops and screenings alongside it.
