Kilkenny - Shee's Almshouse

Adjoining St Mary's Hall, southeast of the Kilkenny Town Hall, is Shee's Almshouse, founded in 1582 by Sir Richard Shee, which remained in use as an almshouse until 1895. After a complete restoration the building now houses both the Tourist Information Office and the City Scope Exhibition which illustrates in miniature Kilkenny in the 17th C.

The 22 minutes presentation used the computer to control battery of lights which gives one of the most exciting and imaginative portrayals of Ireland's colorful past.
