History of Cork Art Mural in Grattan Street Carpark
Illustration - children
History of Cork Art Mural in Grattan Street Carpark, painted by pupils from Cork Educate Together National School (Installation by O’Shea Builders Ltd & PJ Hegarty & Sons Ltd, sponsored by KBC Bank.)
The mural includes a lively section on the Viking history of Cork, about which we know very little. The children chose to focus on warfare, bloodshed and (of course) colourful Viking ships! The horned helmet and dragons also make an appearance.
