The exhibition traced the historic and contentious period of Civil War in Ireland and highlights aspects of Tipperary's involvement through the men and women on the ground. The exhibition is an explosion of colourised photographs from 1921 - 1924, expertly and accurately remastered. The uniqueness of this exhibition, is that it transports you back in time. View astonishing new material associated with Liam Lynch and stories pertaining to Michael Collins' visits to Tipperary.

Artefacts, never before seen were also on display. These unique and often morbid pieces paint a picture of an unsettling disconnect from comradery and family, but narrate the harsh realities of Civil War for the men and women who supported or for those who were against the Treaty.

Another distinguishing feature of Tipperary Museum of Hidden Histories new Civil War exhibition was the 'Untold Stories' section, which wass magnificently presented. Images of life-sized local historians and relatives were interviewed and through this footage, speak about their family associations during the War of Independence and latterly the Civil War. The emotional and dramatic footage is still raw even after 100 years. The families will never forget these events however, the exhibition concludes with hope.

'Untold Stories', a Civil War exhibition ran from October 21st 2022 – June 10th 2023.
