Eolas Fúinn

Músaem stair shóisialta shaol Bhaile Átha Cliath é 14 Sráid Henrietta, ó thosach Seoirseach an fhoirgnimh go dtí go ndearnadh tionóntán de. Déanaimid stair an tsaoil uirbigh thar thréimhse 300 bliain a cheangal le scéalta na ndaoine a chónaigh san áit seo.

Cuirimid beocht, i dturais phearsanta grúpaí beaga daoine, i scéalta na ndaoine a chónaigh sa teach, a gcásanna athraitheacha, an t-eispéireas a bhí acu ar shaol teaghlaigh, ar an bpolaitíocht, agus ar an tionchar a d’imir gnóthaí domhanda orthu.

Trí éisteacht agus labhairt le cuairteoirí, staraithe, cónaitheoirí áitiúla agus a dteaghlaigh agus tríd an eolas atá ag daoine eile, leanann an músaem le scéalta nua a aimsiú, le cuimhní a bhailiú agus le cur le bailiúchán agus eispéireas chuairteoirí an mhúsaeim.

Rinneadh 14 Sráid Henrietta a cheannach agus a chaomhnú mar thoradh díreach ar Phlean Oidhreachta Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath 2002-2016 agus plean caomhnaithe Shráid Henrietta. Rinne Comhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath athchóiriú agus caomhnú an fhoirgnimh seo a chistiú, agus fuarthas tacaíocht bhreise ó Dheontas Caipitil Comórtha Céad Bliain ón Roinn Cultúir, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta.

Tá 14 Sráid Henrietta faoi úinéireacht agus á chaomhnú ag Comhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath, agus tá sé á reáchtáil ag Cuideachta Chultúir Chomhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath.

Tá sé mar fhís againn Baile Átha Cliath a bhaint amach ina ndéanann an cultúr gach duine agus gach rud a cheangal. Is é ár misean chun daoine a cheangal tríd an gcultúr agus trí chomhrá chun an tsamhlaíocht agus eispéiris a spreagadh.
