Weekend treat: Yeats's second coming, digitally
Posted by elizabeth on 20 Jul 2008 in Announcements
A splendid New York Times review of the current exhibition, “The Life and Works of William Butler Yeats,” in the National Library of Ireland reminded me of my visit there last January. The reviewer, Jim Dwyer, says this marvellous exhibition is "more like a life-size, walk-through Web site than an ordinary museum show. With audiotapes, four short films and software that brings light and breath to aging manuscripts, it amounts to a digital resurrection, allowing Yeats to stride again along the hinge of the 19th and 20th centuries."
Even if you can't make it to Kildare St.yourself, the Museum's virtual exhibition is a model of its kind.
