dc.description.abstractThis thesis will look at the question: in which ways are the memories of different groups in the Easter Rising presented to tourists in museums in Dublin? Four museums in Dublin will be examined in order to answer this question. The different groups that will be researched are the sixteen executed leaders, the women who participated in the rebellion, and the British army. All three groups have different statuses in Ireland, and therefore it will be interesting to see how they are presented. This thesis will argue that the touristic narratives offered in the four examined museums are all distinctly different, but that there is a trend in portraying a nuanced view of the rebels and the British army, as well as incorporation of women in the three newest museums. Through researching these three different groups, new light will be shed on the memories of the Easter Rising and a better understanding of incorporating groups of opposing sides in museums about conflict will be achieved.en_US
