In a wide ranging list of recommendations of Things to Look Forward to for a European Trip in 2022 the US based publication, Travel Weekly, has included two Irish locations, the museum/heritage centre/gardens and café at Nano Nagle Place in Cork City Centre and the large-scale installations created by some of Ireland’s top artists which make up the Ardú Street Art Project on walls across the city of Cork. Cork is keeping company with destinations such as Helsinki, in Finland with its new Cultural Centre and Lausanne in Switzerland which has a new museum complex.
Shane Clarke, CEO at Nano Nagle Place said they are “over the moon to be included in this prestigious list of European attractions following on from recently being awarded The Council of Europe Museum Prize for 2022. We are looking forward to welcoming even more visitors to our wonderful, city centre, location in the historic heart of city. We are also very happy that the Ardú Street Art project was included as they too have had an enormous impact on peoples’ enjoyment of Cork City.”
Artist, designer, and co-organiser or Ardú, Shane O’Driscoll adds:
“To be mentioned as a European highlight is a massive testament to everything the team and artists have done in brightening up Cork City. We have been very fortunate to be supported by local authorities and business alike, who also see the vision we have for the project. It really is a sum of everybody involved. To be listed on an American site as a European tourist attraction is beyond what we could hope for in spreading the word about what we do. We now have 11 murals as part of the Ardú project and look forward to bringing more creativity to Cork in the future.”
