Acquis par la ville en 1937, devenu musée municipal en 1946 puis classé Monument Historique en 1948, il est aujourd’hui un merveilleux écrin qui abrite le Musée de l’Olivier, la Donation Solidor et des plafonds peints baroques exceptionnels.
Le Château-Musée Grimaldi accueille également des expositions temporaires d’art contemporain, ainsi que de nombreux concerts.

The name “ara” derives from the shape itself of the monument, similar to an altar. Modern studies recognize the Grimaldi’s “ara” as a pedestal for a statue. Some holes on the base upper surface could have been used to fix a statue over it.
The figures depicted on the bass-reliefs recall Dionysiac themes. They are carved on the four surfaces inside rectangular areas defined by richly decorated frames. These figures imitate the style and the iconography of Greek artworks dated from the end of the 4th and 2nd century BC. The surface frames and the architectural elements embellishing the “ara” are typical of the early period of the Roman Empire. For these reasons the “ara” may be dated from Augustus’ time.

Joseph Grimaldi Park is a public garden located off Pentonville Road in Islington, north London. The former burial grounds for St James’s Episcopal Chapel (formerly known as the Burial Ground of St James’s) are located within the park, which is named after the pantomime clown Joseph Grimaldi, who is buried here. [1]
Following refurbishment in 2010, the park now includes a musical artwork dedicated to Grimaldi and his employer at Sadler’s Wells, Charles Dibdin
Joseph Grimaldi’s grave is enclosed within railings and stands in the south-east corner, close to the entrance into Rodney Street. Other notable burials on the site include Henry Penton, responsible for many early developments in the area, including the church building that once stood on the site. Some existing headstones are stacked by the northern boundary.[1]
A tree and plaque remembering the former deputy mayor of Islington Paul Matthews, who championed the restoration of Grimaldi's grave, are also sited in the park

• Jim McKenna is a multi-instrumentalist and composer.
• Members of Jim's family, Daniel McKenna and Ann Callahan, had emigrated to Boston during the Irish Famine (An Gorta Mór) in 1850 (Armagh) and 1852 (Ballygiblin, Cork) respectively. Daniel McKenna and Ann Callahan were married in Boston (Charlestown) on October 1, 1854. Daniel and his brother Neil were two of the five founding members of the American Society of Hibernians in Boston on March 17, 1857; incorporated March 27, 1861 (later merging with Ancient Order of Hibernians). This organization was formed "for the purpose of rendering assistance to the sick and disabled members of their society, and also of providing for the decent burial of the dead". Jim's great great uncle from Drumkeeran Ireland, Thomas McPartlin, performed traditional music on the banjo in Boston during the late 1800's. Jim great great aunt, from (Ballygiblin, Cork), Bridget Callahan (buried at New Calvary, Mattapan) married Daniel Murphy (Galway) in Boston Nov 5, 1876 at Holy Cross Cathedral, Boston (Dedicated on December 8, 1875). Bridget Callahan stayed in Ireland until she was 21 years (born about 1851-1852).
• Dr. E. Moore Quinn wrote on the subject of the Irish Famine: "...a recently composed pipe lament by Jim McKenna entitled, 'Bridget O‘Donnel: A Victim of Famine'. The latter decries the interlocking set of awful truths that existed behind the journalists' reports and images that were published in the mid-19th century about the Famine.", The Many Voices of Pilgrimages and Reconciliation, Mansfield College, Oxford University, Publisher CABI (October 27, 2017). Jim McKenna "Lament for Bridget O‘Donnel".
• The Entanglement of Culture and Psychosis: Perspectives Across Disciplines and Experiences (Routledge, Chapman & Hall, June 16, 2026). Michael O'Loughlin, On Silence and Shame, "As I prepared this chapter, I immersed myself in much of the extensive video material and music now available on the internet on The Great Famine, Gorta Mór. Immersion in this work invariably produces in me a profound sense of melancholy or lack. This, no doubt, is an intimation of the unconscionable loss...". Jim McKenna "Lament for Bridget O‘Donnel" & "Skibbereen (The Great Famine)".
