Description

This was the entrance arch to Leinster House (next door to Library Towers) back in the days when it was home to the Royal Dublin Society, whose original collections formed the basis of ours here at the National Library of Ireland. It looks quite imposing, and it's lovely to see the notices for presumably forthcoming lectures, etc. - a bit blurry, but one definitely says BOTANY.

I had assumed the figure of Minerva had been relocated to the "new" RDS in Ballsbridge, but she's not on any of the buildings there that I could see. So, where is Minerva now?

Date: 1863-1880
