Nelson's head finds new home

The original head of Nelson's Pillar has found a new home at the Dublin City Library.

Admiral Nelson's head is now on exhibition to the public free of charge along with papers and original archives on Nelson's Pillar.

The head has been moved from Dublin Civic Museum, which is closed for refurbishment, to the Reading Room in Dublin City Library on Pearse Street.

Nelson's Pillar was a famous landmark and meeting place for Dubliners before being blown up by republicans in 1966, on the 50th anniversary of the 1916 Rising.
