Tomb from the church of Näshult, which predates the current church (the church is from 1735 - the burial from 1572). And the photo lies a bit - the stone is placed in the floor, not standing up, but I liked the effect from this angle.
The man buried here is Nils Persson from Holma, of the noble Silfversparre family (Silfversparre is a description of the coat of arms which later was used as a family name, so if you look at the stone you can see that coat of arms, but the name Silfversparre isn't actually mentioned). Nils Persson was first mentioned in 1529 and had several important functions in the higher echelons of society - though they are hard to translate to English so I won't try. He died October 19 1572, at six in the afternoon (according to the stone). Nils Persson had acquired a lot of land in his life-time and he seems to have been rather ruthless - and he had actually killed a man in 1551. He had at least three children, including a daughter - who was also accused of murder. She was later executed, but not for that, but for treachery towards the king. You can't help but get the feeling that if you were important enough, back in the day, you really could get away with murder...
Jan Hus was a Czech church reformer executed in 1415. His teachings had a profound influence on the history of the Czech nation.
Jan Hus’s contribution to the development of the Czech literary language was the introduction of diacritical marks, such as: č, š, ř, ž, á, í, é. The purpose of this innovation was representing each sound by only one symbol and eleminating digraphs (sounds represented by two letters).
The inscription on the monument reads “Milujte se, pravdy každému přejte”, which means more or less: “Love one another, wish the truth to everyone”. This is a shortened version of a quote from one of Hus’s letters from prison. The day of his execution, July 6th, is a public holiday in Czechia (Jan Hus Day).

La Sauceda is a dispersed population center belonging to the municipality of Cortes de la Frontera (Málaga province,
Spain). It is located in the natural park of Los Alcornocales.
The area had special importance during the Spanish civil war. At that time, La Sauceda surpassed Cortes de la Frontera in population. Many people from the entire province of Cádiz (especially the countryside of Jerez) took refuge in it, fleeing the repression of the Francoist army. Due to the steep terrain, it was a brake on the advance of Francoist troops from the Strait towards Seville and Madrid. When these troops finally managed to penetrate the area of La Sauceda, they carried out innumerable murders of men, women and children who had taken refuge there. In the vicinity of La Sauceda, in the Cortijo de El Marrufo, a one of the largest mass graves in Spain, where hundreds of Spaniards tortured and executed by Franco's troops may be buried.
In the 21st century, a House of Memory was installed for the victims in Jimena de la Frontera.

During the French Revolution the new revolutionary government erected the guillotine in the square, and it was here that King Louis XVI was executed on 21 January 1793. In 1795, under the Directory, the square was renamed from Place Louis XV to Place de la Concorde as a gesture of reconciliation after the turmoil of the French Revolution. After the Bourbon Restoration of 1814, the name was changed back to Place Louis XV, and in 1826 the square was renamed Place Louis XVI. After the July Revolution of 1830 the name was returned to Place de la Concorde and has remained since.

The château of Azay-le-Rideau occupies the site of a former feudal castle. The original medieval castle fell victim to the rivalry between Burgundian and Armagnac factions during the Hundred Years' War. In 1418, the future Charles VII passed through Azay-le-Rideau as he fled from Burgundian occupied Paris to the loyal Armagnac stronghold of Bourges. Angered by the insults of the Burgundian troops occupying the town, the dauphin ordered his own army to storm the castle. The 350 soldiers inside were all executed and the castle itself burnt to the ground.
The castle remained in ruins until 1518, when the land was acquired by Gilles Berthelot, the Mayor of Tours and Treasurer-General of the King's finances. Berthelot set about reconstructing the building to incorporate its medieval past along with the latest architectural styles of the Italian renaissance.
Unfortunately, the building plans were never completed, so the château retains the L shape rather than a quadrilateral shape originally envisioned.
An extensive building project to replace the slate roof was in progress when we visited, so photographic opportunities were limited. But this one view reflections in the Indre River is classic.
Happy Wednesday! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Built by Allakuli Khan between 1832 and 1841 as a more splendid alternative to the Kuhna Ark, it’s said to have more than 150 rooms off nine courtyards, with high ceilings designed to catch the slightest desert breeze. Allakuli was a man in a hurry – the Tosh-Hovli’s first architect was executed for failing to complete the job in two years.

According to the chronicle of Nan, the temple was initially called Wat Phrom Min. It was some time later that the monastery was named Wat Phumin. Based on historical evidence, the temple was constructed by Chetabut Phrom Min, a ruler of Nan, in 1776 A.D. The major restoration took place during the reign of Ananta Worarittidet in 1867 A.D. The wihan has a unique floor plan. Being cruciform like most prasat, the wihan stands on a raised terrace that is reached by staircases on each of its four axis. They lead up to four doors. Only the north-south axis has two long undulating nagas

The gallows was erected in 1597 instead of a wooden gallows. The number of people executed is unclear, but there are some indications that relatively few people died there, which is also due to the relatively liberal jurisprudence of the Count House of Erbach. Only one execution in 1746 is documented in the church records, which is considered certain. Johann Adam Beisel from Unter-Sensbach was hanged for theft and adultery.

They carry three crossbars arranged in a triangle, which is why the place of execution is also known as the so-called "three-sleeper gallows". The gallows served the high court of the Oberzent under the rule of the Counts of Erbach; In 1806 they were deprived of their jurisdiction by Napoleonic law, which also ended the right to impose the death penalty.

The mosaics of the Palatine Chapel are of unparalleled elegance as concerns elongated proportions and streaming draperies of figures. They are also noted for subtle modulations of colour and luminance. The oldest are probably those covering the ceiling, the drum, and the dome.
The rest of the mosaics, dated to the 1160s or the 1170s, are executed in a cruder manner and feature Latin (rather than Greek) inscriptions. Probably a work of local craftsmen, these pieces are more narrative and illustrative than transcendental. A few mosaics have a secular character and represent oriental flora and fauna. This may be the only substantial passage of secular Byzantine mosaic extant today.

The Moret Church series of some dozen oil paintings was executed in 1893/94 by Alfred Sisley. The church building depicted in each of the paintings is the Church of Notre-Dame in Moret-sur-Loing, Seine-et-Marne where Sisley had elected to see out his days until his death in 1899.
The works in the series are now distributed around the world and are on display in France, the United States, Switzerland, Scotland and Hungary
American wigeon are such fun birds to photograph ... they're quite beautiful and generally pretty active as they dabble for food, which is generally lots of plant matter. They possess a short bill which allows them to efficiently pluck the vegetation in search of the good stuff, while also allowing them to discard easily what they don't want. This female mama wigeon was taking a break from her babies and thus had a great flappy going on as it arose from the water surface with a strong and purposeful flap and stretch forward of its wings, followed by a back flap ... forward and backward flaps repeated for quite some time before she settled back into position. I just love seeing those feathers like that. After some time her young joined her in the lake. Such is the life. :-)
Hope that you enjoy.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Den Haag, Kunstmuseum, Staircase, Wall Drawing no. 373 (Soll Lewitt) (uncut)
A part of Soll LeWit's Wall Drawing number 373: Lines in Four Directions (equal spacing on an unequal wall) covers the iconic grand staircase of The Kunstmuseum Den Haag (Formerly the Gemeente museum (Municipal Art museum, (1935 H.P. Berlage).
Shown here is not the entire Le Witt graphic. The museum states the following about him and the giant Wall drawing:
Sol LeWitt (1928-2007) is one of the founders of conceptual art and American Minimal Art. Minimal art aims to establish a relationship with the immediate environment using the simplest possible means. In doing so, the artist prefers to use simple, possibly found materials. LeWitt's wall drawings and sculptures are world-famous, as is his radical view that an idea for a work of art is more important than its execution. For example, he designs his wall drawings himself but has them executed by a team of assistants. In the 1960s, this conceptual thinking was a direct break with the past and an attack on the age-old principle of the artist as an individual genius.
In 1983, the museum acquired Wall drawing no. 373 by LeWitt. The drawing consists of parallel black and grey stripes. The diagonal and vertical lines run in four different directions and emphasize the height of the staircase in the Berlage building. In the spirit of conceptual art, LeWitt draws a diagram with instructions and leaves the execution to his assistants. Not the artist but his team travels to the destination to create the wall drawing: comparable to an architect who never actually executes a building himself. LeWitt created the design after receiving the technical specifications of the wall where his artwork was to be placed, along with photos and floor plans. He relies entirely on his team for the execution.
The artist also makes a certificate for the buyer of the work in which he records the idea for the drawing. This makes it possible to re-execute the drawing later. If the wall drawing itself disappears, for example, through overpainting, the artwork still exists as an idea on paper. This wall drawing was restored in 2000 after it had been painted over during the renovation of the building. In gratitude for the restoration, the artist donated a new series of wall drawings to the museum.
Sol LeWitt and the Kunstmuseum have a long history together. In 1968, the museum organized the first Minimal Art exhibition in Europe. Two years later, LeWitt's first solo museum exhibition in Europe followed. Since then, various works by the artist have been added to the museum collection. Examples include the five geometric shapes on the façade of KM21 and the murals in the hall of the Kunstmuseum.
Sol Le Witt's Wall Drawing No 1084 at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, in its dynamic social context, is here.
This is number 308 of the Museum album and 1583 of Minimalism / explicit Graphism.
The Zeche Zollern II/IV (translated: Zollern II/IV Colliery) is located in the northwestern suburb of Bövinghausen of Dortmund, Germany. The Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG projected Zollern in 1898 as a model colliery.
Ground up construction began in 1898 on a new site. Most of the buildings of the colliery were built in solid brickwork by the architect Paul Knobbe and were completed in 1904 with the central engine house, in which the most up-to-date generators and machinery used in the colliery were housed. The architecture and state-of-the-art technology support the transition of Gothic-revival to Art Nouveau and the industrialization of the early 1900s.
Due to deadline pressure, the central engine house was built in iron framework construction with infilling of red brickwork, planned and executed by the Gutehoffnungshütte. The Art Nouveau styled main entrance was designed by the Berlin architect Bruno Möhring, it shows a lead glazing of blue, green and-glass. Counterpart of the main entrance is the big control board of polished marble in brass mounting, with a brass clock hanging from above.
Other buildings on the site include administration bureaus, blacksmith's shop and carpenter's shop, first-aid and fire station with stable, pithead baths, tools store and the central gateway.
In 1969, three years after it closed down, the colliery was recognized as Germany's first technical building monument of international importance. Since 1981, it has been the headquarters of the Westphalian Industrial Museum.
The original pit frames had been scrapped before 1969, two similar constructions from other collieries were reconstructed on this site in the 1980s.
The museum is an anchor point on the European Route of Industrial Heritage.

After executing a well timed meet with a westbound track geometry car, Montana Rail Link’s Bozeman Local scales the remainder of the west slope of Bozeman Pass and is about to duck into the tunnel at the summit which lies just a few hundred yards ahead. From there it will be smooth sailing down the other side of the mountain into Livingston, where the crew will have work at the yard and R-Y Timber before heading back to Bozeman. The two 1969 built GP35’s leading the short freight are a common sight on this job, and have undoubtedly traversed the steep grades of the Rocky Mountains many times further to the south under the ownership of the Rio Grande.
Fotheringhay is remembered most of all for being the place where Mary Queen of Scots was executed. This took place in the castle in 1587 after she had been found guilty of treason against Queen Elizabeth I. Mary was a Catholic and had been plotting with others to attempt to remove Elizabeth from the throne and reintroduce Catholicism to England. Mary's son James became King James I of England after Elizabeth's death. He was, of course, a Protestant.
There is virtually nothing left of the castle other than a large mound (out of shot to the left) and a large clump of stone surrounded by railings on the bank of the river. This can be seen on the left of the picture.
A Sample of a shitload of raw shots , dozens taken quickly in succession just playing with windlight settings. Just some spur of the moment exercise at The Warehouse Event, I saw the awesome as ever Maru Kado Mannequin with the gimmick being sold and a blank wall behind it and there's where my brain is click click click.
Anyway it should be mentioned this is @ MOMOCHUU's spot at the event and indeed the Fresh Mini Tomatoes including HUD and the companion Tomato Lips (6 tones of lip gloss) with HUD are the items they are promoting and selling. It's a cute gimmick, well executed and rendered, very inexpensive, I'm sure they will do well with this accessory.
I sent them a notecard offering to buy both items not for myself, but as gifts, I asked if I could purchase the items as said gifts but delay delivery, allowing me to soak both items in arsenic over night and then return both items to them the next day, at which point they could send to the lucky recipient with the sender being identified as "Your Secret Admirer <3". I even offered ten times the asking prices!!
I haven't received a reply yet? Hmmm....
btw, you don't get it...

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson.
This is one photograph on which I would be happy to stake my reputation as a photographer. As far as I'm aware, it is the only photograph of this historic building taken from directly in front as you see here. The reason why all the other photographs are taken from an angle is that the distance across the street is usually too short to give a complete view of the frontage. And an extremely wide angle lens will tend to distort the image too much.
In this case my plan was to photograph it at night, to take advantage of the lighting (limited though that is - especially at the very top of the building). The early Art Deco styling is truly outstanding and typical of its time of construction in 1915. This marks the architectural shift from Art Nouveau to Art Deco and this building is almost unique in Australia in that regard.
My earlier photographs of the historic Palais Theatre and Luna Park in St Kilda (Melbourne) were a model for this shot, although of course they both needed to be in colour.* The grey and white tones of The National Theatre's original paintwork meant that black and white was the obvious choice here.
*[I will do a re-edit on both those photographs tonight and post them tomorrow - as I am not happy with the original postings, given they were processed before I started using Capture One.]
Speaking of processing, there is plenty here, but no AI. Everything you see is on the original RAW file, but obviously certain parts of the photograph needed to be enhanced by using adjustment layers. Another reason for choosing this angle of shot was to incorporate the building with arched windows on the far right under the glow of the street lamp. It will surprise no art buff to see here the influence of the great Italian Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978).
The National Theatre was opened as a live theatre, but in 1934 became the first in Launceston to show "Talkie" films. It remained a successful cinema until 1969. At present it is the home of one of Tasmania's finest printing firms, Foot and Playsted.
Castillo, Berlanga de Duero, Soria, Castilla y León, España.
El castillo de Berlanga de Duero se encuentra en la población del mismo nombre, pertenece a la provincia de Soria y fue construido entre los siglos XV, cuando tuvo la función de castillo señorial, y en el XVI cuando se transformó en una fortaleza artillera. Con anterioridad, en los siglos X y XI, hubo una fortaleza musulmana que, en el XII, tras la conquista castellana, se amplió con el cinturón exterior amurallado que se conserva.
Bordeada por el río Escalote y abrazada por el Duero, se corona por la imponente silueta del castillo que la vigila desde el Coborrón. El conjunto monumental está formado por los restos de la fortaleza tardomedieval (siglo XV), la fortaleza artillera de época renacentista (siglo XVI), la muralla que ciñe el cerro en su base (siglo XII) y el Palacio de los Duques de Frías (siglo XVI).
El conjunto se inició entre los años 1460 y 1480 por encargo de D. Luis Tovar y doña María de Guzmán, que ordenaronn levantar el casillo señorial, para servir de fortaleza defensiva y residencia familiar, sobre un castillo anterior situado en lo alto del cerro, donde se localizaba la primitiva villa de Berlanga protegida por la muralla situada a los pies del cerro.
En el año 1512 se proyectó y comenzó a ejecutar el nuevo castillo, configurado como una fortaleza artillera, con fines militares. Esta nueva fortaleza se adaptó tanto a la topografía abrupta del terreno como a la construcción anterior (el castillo medieval señorial).
En el programa constructivo de los linajes Tovar y de los Duques de Frías se encontraba además la erección del palacio en el recinto interior de la muralla del siglo XII, adaptado a los nuevos modos de vida. Este palacio y sus jardines intramuros estructurados en diversos niveles sufrieron, en 1811, un incendio y una destrucción por parte de las tropas napoleónicas, por lo que en la actualidad solo se conserva su fachada principal.
Durante los años 2004-2005 se acometió por parte de la Junta de Castilla y León un Plan Director, un conjunto de planes y actuaciones orientadas a la mejor conservación, protección y revitalización de este rico patrimonio. Se incluyen estudios de investigación, consolidación y restauración de los restos del monumento o actuaciones en el entorno.
El castillo señorial (siglo XV) presenta planta rectangular, en la que destaca el cubo de planta circular, en el ángulo sur, y la torre del homenaje en el lado opuesto. En el interior, dos patios articulan el espacio: uno, a la entrada, más sencillo, funcionó como patio de armas; y el otro, se planteó como patio palacial porticado, con columnas góticas, tiene en el centro un aljibe con una conducción que lleva al depósito de agua.
A partir del castillo señorial medieval, en el siglo XVI se construyó la fortaleza artillera. Tiene planta rectangular con pontentes cubos en cada ángulo, orientados a los puntos cardinales, los dos delanteros albergan sendas casamatas para instalar la artillería de la fortaleza. Los muros, levantados con piedra de sillería de calidad, tienen cinco metros de espesor y se rematan con un parapeto inclinado para desviar los impactos de artillería.
The castle of Berlanga de Duero is located in the town of the same name, belongs to the province of Soria and was built between the fifteenth century, when it served as a stately castle, and the sixteenth when it was transformed into an artillery fortress. Previously, in the 10th and 11th centuries, there was a Muslim fortress that, in the 12th century, after the Castilian conquest, was extended with the outer walled belt that remains.
Bordered by the River Escalote and embraced by the Duero, it is crowned by the imposing silhouette of the castle that watches over it from the Coborrón. The monumental complex is made up of the remains of the late medieval fortress (15th century), the artillery fortress from the Renaissance period (16th century), the wall that surrounds the hill at its base (12th century) and the Palace of the Dukes of Frías ( century XVI).
The complex began between 1460 and 1480 by order of D. Luis Tovar and Doña María de Guzmán, who ordered the building of the stately castle, to serve as a defensive fortress and family residence, on top of a previous castle located on top of the hill. where the primitive town of Berlanga was located, protected by the wall located at the foot of the hill.
In the year 1512 the new castle was projected and began to be executed, configured as an artillery fortress, for military purposes. This new fortress was adapted both to the steep topography of the land and to the previous construction (the stately medieval castle).
In the construction program of the Tovar lineages and the Dukes of Frías was also the erection of the palace in the inner enclosure of the 12th century wall, adapted to the new ways of life. This palace and its intramural gardens structured on various levels suffered, in 1811, a fire and destruction by Napoleonic troops, so that today only its main façade remains.
During the years 2004-2005, the Junta de Castilla y León undertook a Master Plan, a set of plans and actions aimed at the best conservation, protection and revitalization of this rich heritage. Research studies, consolidation and restoration of the remains of the monument or actions in the environment are included.
The stately castle (15th century) has a rectangular floor plan, in which the circular cube in the southern corner stands out, and the homage tower on the opposite side. Inside, two patios articulate the space: one, at the entrance, simpler, functioned as a parade ground; and the other, designed as a porticoed palatial courtyard, with Gothic columns, has a cistern in the center with a conduit that leads to the water tank.
Starting from the medieval stately castle, the artillery fortress was built in the 16th century. It has a rectangular floor plan with powerful cubes at each angle, oriented to the cardinal points, the two front ones house casemates to install the fortress's artillery. The walls, raised with quality ashlar masonry stone, are five meters thick and are finished off with a sloping parapet to deflect artillery impacts.
Autumn colour has been prematurely executed this year by Storm Ashley tearing the foliage from the trees. It really has been a short period of colour here in the NW of England, with most of that wonderful autumnal colour now being on the ground, sadly.
It was very much the same story up in the Lakes last week with those remaining leaves being rather dull in colour.
I shot this in Roddlesworth Woods near home when we had a bit low low cloud and mist this week. You can see all the lovely Beech leaves lying on the ground. The mist at least gave the scene a bit of atmosphere!
Patrick Dougherty conceived this project and it was executed over 3 weeks with 150 volunteers. There are 7 faces nestled in a grove of trees in Hillsboro Oregon.
His inspiration was the masks and totems of the Northwest First Nations people.
The masks reach a height of 18 feet. More of his artwork: www.stickwork.net
The Treasure hunt is executed in sick now.
Cyber suits that I wear now can be gotten by collecting 10 mystery man's masks.

Kilmainham Gaol (Irish: Príosún Chill Mhaighneann) is a former prison in Kilmainham, Dublin, Ireland. It is now a museum run by the Office of Public Works, an agency of the Government of Ireland. Many Irish revolutionaries, including the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising, were imprisoned and executed in the prison by the orders of the UK Government.When it was first built in 1796, Kilmainham Gaol was called the "New Gaol" to distinguish it from the old prison it was intended to replace – a noisome dungeon, just a few hundred metres from the present site. It was officially called the County of Dublin Gaol, and was originally run by the Grand Jury for County Dublin.
Originally, public hangings took place at the front of the prison. However, from the 1820s onward very few hangings, public or private, took place at Kilmainham. A small hanging cell was built in the prison in 1891. It is located on the first floor, between the west wing and the east wing.
There was no segregation of prisoners; men, women and children were incarcerated up to 5 in each cell, with only a single candle for light and heat. Most of their time was spent in the cold and the dark, and each candle had to last for two weeks. Its cells were roughly 28 square metres in area.
Children were sometimes arrested for petty theft, the youngest said to be a seven-year-old child, while many of the adult prisoners were transported to Australia.
At Kilmainham, the poor conditions in which women prisoners were kept provided the spur for the next stage of development. As early as 1809, in his report, the Inspector had observed that male prisoners were supplied with iron bedsteads while females "lay on straw on the flags in the cells and common halls". Half a century later there was little improvement. The women's section, located in the west wing, remained overcrowded. In an attempt to relieve the overcrowding, 30 female cells were added to the Gaol in 1840. These improvements had not been made long before the Great Famine occurred, and Kilmainham was overwhelmed with the increase of prisoners.
Kilmainham Gaol was decommissioned as a prison by the Irish Free State government in 1924. Seen principally as a site of oppression and suffering, there was at this time no declared interest in its preservation as a monument to the struggle for national independence. The jail's potential function as a location of national memory was also undercut and complicated by the fact that the first four Republican prisoners executed by the Free State government during the Irish Civil War were shot in the prison yard.
The Irish Prison Board contemplated reopening it as a prison during the 1920s but all such plans were finally abandoned in 1929. In 1936 the government considered the demolition of the prison but the price of this undertaking was seen as prohibitive. Republican interest in the site began to develop from the late 1930s, most notably with the proposal by the National Graves Association, a Republican organisation, to preserve the site as both a museum and memorial to the 1916 Easter Rising. This proposal received no objections from the Commissioners of Public Works, who costed it at £600, and negotiations were entered into with the Department of Education about the possibility of relocating artefacts relating to the 1916 Rising housed in the National Museum to a new museum at the Kilmainham Gaol site. The Department of Education rejected this proposal seeing the site as unsuitable for this purpose and suggested instead that paintings of nationalist leaders could be installed in appropriate prison cells. However, with the advent of the Emergency the proposal was shelved for the duration of the war.
An architectural survey commissioned by the Office of Public Works after World War II revealed that the prison was in a ruinous condition. With the Department of Education still intransigent to the site's conversion to a nationalist museum and with no other apparent function for the building, the Commissioners of Public Works proposed only the prison yard and those cell blocks deemed to be of national importance should be preserved and that the rest of the site should be demolished. This proposal was not acted upon.
In 1953 the Department of the Taoiseach, as part of a scheme to generate employment, re-considered the proposal of the National Graves Association to restore the prison and establish a museum at the site. However, no advance was made and the material condition of the prison continued to deteriorate.
From the late 1950s, a grassroots movement for the preservation of Kilmainham Gaol began to develop. Provoked by reports that the Office of Public Works was accepting tenders for the demolition of the building, Lorcan C.G. Leonard, a young engineer from the north side of Dublin, along with a small number of like-minded nationalists, formed the Kilmainham Gaol Restoration Society in 1958. In order to offset any potential division among its members, the society agreed that they should not address any of the events connected with the Civil War period in relation to the restoration project. Instead, a narrative of the unified national struggle was to be articulated. A scheme was then devised that the prison should be restored and a museum built using voluntary labour and donated materials.
With momentum for the project growing, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions informed the society that they would not oppose their plan and the Building Trades Council gave it their support. It is also likely that Dublin Corporation, which had shown an interest in the preservation of the prison, supported the proposal. At this time the Irish government was coming under increasing pressure from the National Graves Association and the Old IRA Literary and Debating Society to take action to preserve the site. Thus, when the society submitted their plan in late 1958 the government looked favourably on a proposal that would achieve this goal without occasioning any significant financial commitment from the state.
In February 1960 the society's detailed plan for the restoration project, which notably also envisioned the site's development as a tourist attraction, received the approval of the notoriously parsimonious Department of Finance. The formal handing over of prison keys to a board of trustees, composed of five members nominated by the society and two by the government, occurred in May 1960. The trustees were charged a nominal rent of one penny rent per annum to extend for a period of five years at which point it was envisaged that the restored prison would be permanently transferred to the trustees' custodial care.
Commencing with a workforce of sixty volunteers in May 1960, the society set about clearing the overgrown vegetation, trees, fallen masonry and bird droppings from the site. By 1962 the symbolically important prison yard where the leaders of the 1916 Rising were executed had been cleared of rubble and weeds and the restoration of the Victorian section of the prison was nearing completion. It opened to the public on 10 April 1966. The final restoration of the site was completed in 1971 when Kilmainham Gaol chapel was re-opened to the public having been reroofed and re-floored and with its altar reconstructed. The Magill family acted as residential caretakers, in particular, Joe Magill who worked on the restoration of the gaol from the start until the Gaol was handed over to the Office of Public works.
It now houses a museum on the history of Irish nationalism and offers guided tours of the building. An art gallery on the top floor exhibits paintings, sculptures and jewellery of prisoners incarcerated in prisons all over contemporary Ireland.
Kilmainham Gaol is one of the biggest unoccupied prisons in Europe. Now empty of prisoners, it is filled with history.
In 2013, Kilmainham courthouse located beside the prison, which had remained in operation as a seat of the Dublin District court until 2008 was handed over to the OPW for refurbishment as part of a broader redevelopment of the Gaol and the surrounding Kilmainham Plaza in advance of the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Rising. The courthouse opened in 2015 as the attached visitor's centre for the Gaol.
