We were thrilled to welcome Patrons of the Chester Beatty to a special Conservation Studio visit last week ✨They had a look at recently completed projects and ongoing stabilisation of an unusually large Qur’an, plus some potential candidates for future conservation 👀
Patrons support the Chester Beatty, especially our Heritage Council internships, where early-career conservators (like Cecilia here) receive specialist training while actively contributing to the conservation of the Chester Beatty collection. It’s conservators’ work that means precious objects, sometimes hundreds or even a thousand years old, can still be put on display, studied and enjoyed ❤️

Join Ellie Treasaigh NicAodh for a fun and crafty event for all the family this Bloomsday Festival on Saturday, 13th June at 11am at Chester Beatty.
James Joyce’s Ulysses is one of Ireland’s most important works of literature. Set right here, in the heart of Dublin, it describes one day in the city from the perspectives of many Dubliners. More than one hundred years later, many of the streets and sights described in the novel are still around today – see if you can spot them! Join this relaxed family session, and decorate your own 1900’s map of Dublin, highlighting the places you frequent and activities you take part in, as though you and your family are walking through the novel yourselves!
The event is free, no booking required. Limited to 15 participants at one time.
Please note: children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
