Geraldine Higgins offers a virtual tour of Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again, the landmark exhibition that she developed and curates. Located in the Cultural and Heritage Centre at the Bank of Ireland, College Green, Dublin, the exhibition was opened in July 2018 by Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland. Presented across four areas (Excavations, Creativity, Conscience, and Marvels), its core content comes from the literary archive that the Heaney family donated to the National Library of Ireland.
