As President Michael D Higgins approaches the final months of his 14-year tenure, Galway City Museum and Galway International Arts Festival have come together to present President Michael D. Higgins – Through the Lens, a photographic exhibition celebrating a life defined by purpose, compassion and culture.
From the beginning, Galway City Museum director Eithne Verling and I sought to capture not only the statesman, activist and politician, but also the deeply human qualities that have endeared President Higgins to so many: his warmth, humour, humanity and love of life.
