Studio & State explores events between July 1921, when the Truce was agreed in Dublin, and January 1922, when the Anglo-Irish Treaty was narrowly ratified in Dáil Éireann. Objects chosen from the National Museum’s collections and dating to this period also include a copy of the Treaty document autographed by the signatories, and pro- and anti-Treaty propaganda works.
In joining the Museum’s historical documents and photographs with John Lavery’s portraits of Treaty negotiators on both the Irish and British sides, they hope to highlight the particular complexities of this time and the diversity of the personalities involved in the negotiations.
