ASPECTS OF MEDIEVAL CORK

 Copper engraved print of Cork by Daniel Meisner c.1638.

From the Sciographia Cosmica published by Paulus Furst between 1637-78

We here at Cork Public Museum in conjunction with the MA History at University College Cork are delighted to bring you an online exhibition of medieval objects that have been unearthed at archaeological digs here in Cork. As part of their studies, students Emmanuel Alden and David O'Mahony give us a fascinating glimpse into medieval Cork by way of musical instruments, medieval games, symbols of piety, craftsmanship and trade. These objects can now be viewed in person at our newly revamped permanent archaeology gallery.
