The Philadelphia Irish Memorial
Though it has special meaning for the 44 million Americans of Irish descent, it touches everyone who approaches it, regardless of their ancestry. Besides presenting an important chapter in history in a moving and effective way, the memorial is a significant addition to Philadelphia’s great collection of public art, and one of the few pieces created by a major female artist. It serves as both a national attraction and a place for peaceful contemplation.
