Explore the very first virtual exhibition of winning photographs from the Wiki Loves Monuments photo contest.
The Wiki Loves Monuments Virtual Exhibition showcases Irish built heritage from all regions. It also aims to celebrate and encourage the preservation and promotion of digital heritage via Wikimedia Projects. Open knowledge is accessible freely accessible to all so please enjoy these exceptional examples of photos that capture important parts of Irish history.
The rich tapestry of history is often best captured through the lens of a camera, freezing moments in time to tell stories of the past.
Wiki Loves Monuments is an international photo competition that promotes historic sites around the world through Wikimedia projects (mainly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons).
For Heritage Week 2024, this exhibition is a showcase of winners from previous competitions and showcases Ireland’s built heritage through open knowledge sources.
