  • GREAT INTERIORS HECTOR Mcdonnell HECTOR Mcdonnell
    GREAT INTERIORS HECTOR McDONNELL HECTOR McDONNELL GREAT INTERIORS Exhibition dates 3rd - 21st November 2015 21 Bruton St, London, W1J 6QD I have been working on the paintings in this exhibition over the last two years. They concentrate on what has been a constant theme for me - an endless fascination with interiors both for what they tell us about the people who inhabit these places even when they are not there and the curiosity aroused by half-seen glimpses spied through windows and doors. The mystery of the not-quite-known is forever enticing.

NATIONAL MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES OF NORTHERN IRELAND ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 Chief Executive’s Welcome Museums have a certain affinity for looking back on the past and studying it to tell stories of change, evolution and progress. In the future if we were to look back on financial year 2018-19 at National Museums NI, I’m confident it will be underlined as a year of great significance. This was the year when we opened The Troubles & Beyond gallery in the Ulster Museum laying down a marker of our intent to be braver and more active in facilitating understanding of our complex past. It was also a year of headliner exhibitions and broken records with the trio of loans – Dippy On Tour, Tim Peake’s Space Capsule and Leonardo 500 – contributing to our highest ever visitor numbers of 905,102 visitors, which will serve us well into the future in terms of new visitors returning. More critical than the record-breaking visitor performance, however, is the organisation’s progress along its journey of transformational change.
