Following a courtesy call at Áras an Uachtaráin in the morning, President Higgins and President Keller-Sutter attended what President Higgins suggested is one of the most important cultural exchanges between the famous library of St Gallen and the National Museum of Ireland, which reflects 7 years of the finest cooperation between our cultural institutions.
President Higgins was present to hear President Keller-Sutter speak as special guest and the curators and staff of both museums.
President Higgins stated that ‘Words on the Wave: Ireland and St Gallen in Early Medieval Europe’ is perhaps the finest combination of their manuscripts and found objects from Irish excavations and others.
