Public Art in Dublin [1]

Welcome to the Street Prophets Coffee Hour cleverly hidden at the intersection of religion, art, science, food, and politics. This is an open thread where we can share our thoughts and comments about the day. Like many cities, Dublin has a great deal of public art, including statues of historic figures such as Oscar Wilde (one of many noted writers associated with the city), Daniel O’Connell (founder of the Catholic Association), Phil Lynott (from the Irish rock band Thin Lizzy), and James Larkin (a trade unionist). These statues are often tourist attractions with many tourists posing for pictures with them. The 390-foot tall, stainless steel Millennium Spire on O’Connell Street is not a memorial to anything, but is the tallest work of public art in the world. Shown below are some examples of Dublin’s public art.
