This exhibition at the Fordham Hall, Kylemore Abbey, is a tribute to the life’s work of Tim and Mairead Robinson, whose shared passion for and knowledge of place has left a scholarly legacy of books and maps of the West of Ireland which will endure for generations.Included in the exhibit is a piece by acclaimed Galway sculptor, John Coll, which pays tribute to the late writer and cartographer.
