'˜Treasures' sought from Co. Antrim

RTÉ and the National Museum of Ireland are currrently working together to create National Treasures, a unique archive documenting how Ireland has developed using ordinary objects treasured by families across the 32 counties. The aim is to gather objects from every county, passed down through generations or relatively recently acquired, which reveal an aspect of the nation’s history, culture and experience.

Currently, the project is specifically looking for objects from Antrim that tell the story of the Glen County since 1917. Whether it’s a DeLorean factory clock in card, ticket to an early Van Morrison gig, a jersey worn by George Best or you were an extra in Game of Thrones and held onto your costume, they want to hear from you. Some counties have already responded to the call in big numbers.
