Nano Nagle Place is a public heritage site and museum dedicated to the history of Nano Nagle.
Architecture
Located on a 3.7-acre site in the centre of Cork (city), Ireland, Nano Nagle Place houses a complex of 18th-century buildings including the convent that Nano Nagle built for the Ursulines in 1771, later home to the Presentation Sisters, order she founded, from 1775.
A four-year renovation of the site was completed by JCA Architects in 2016, receiving the Cork Business Association's Better Building Judge's Choice Award in 2018.[1]
The wider campus houses an 18th-century graveyard, a Victorian high Gothic Revival chapel designed by the English architect George Goldie (architect) in 1865, and a contemporary garden café.[2]
Content
Nano Nagle Place was opened in 2017 by former president of Ireland Dr Mary McAleese, ahead of the tercentenary celebrations in 2018 of Nano Nagle’s birth. Under the ownership of the Presentation Sisters, it was funded almost entirely by the religious order.[3]
The museum describes life in 18th-century Cork and, through its permanent exhibition, tells the story of Nano Nagle and the Presentation Sisters. It features an archive, objects owned and used by Nano Nagle, and a carefully conserved 18th-century parlour room. With a focus on charitable work, the schedule of temporary exhibitions features collaborations with the Lantern Community Project and Cork Migrants community inclusion projects, housed in the complex along with the University College Cork/Cork Institute of Technology Centre for Architectural Education.[4]
Nano Nagle Place was selected by the Culture Committee, Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe as the 2022 Winner of the Council of Europe Museum Prize, awarded by the European Museum Forum's European Museum of the Year Awards. [5][not in citation given]
