290 years old today! You didn’t know? Well, let’s explore nearly 300 years of Irish history through the eyes of what started in 1731 as the Dublin Society.

Ireland’s original enlightenment organisation. A thread... The fourteen founders of the Dublin Society held their first meeting in the Old Library of @tcddublin (which wasn’t so old then).
