Independence Museum Kilmurry has a wonderful new addition on site - a mural by Cork Artist Peter Martin, which was supported by Cork County Council through the Arts Office and unveiled by the Mayor of County Cork Cllr. Gillian Coughlan on Saturday 14th August. The mural, which is well worth the visit, is located around the rear of the museum and is freely open to all to see at any time. The piece is inspired by the river Lee valley and some qualities of the embroidered Kate O'Callaghan dress in the museum. The text 'The Beauty of the World is the Heritage of All' is taken from a line in Terence MacSwiney's writings - 'Reflect on the common origin of the human race, on the beauty of the world that is the heritage of all, our common hopes and fears, and in the greatest sense, the mutual interest of the peoples of the earth'.
