Museum is a collaboration between the renowned Irish poet Paula Meehan and the photographer Dragana Jurišić, made around 14 Henrietta Street, the celebrated Dublin tenement and museum. The book tells the story of the building's shifting fortunes through three hundred years of city life: a journey from its grand Georgian beginnings to the tenement dwellings of its later years. Through people and memory, it aims to deepen understanding of the history of urban life and housing in Ireland. 'The DNA footprint of the people who lived in the house is impressed into the floors, stored beneath the floorboards, carved onto those walls. It's the walls that fascinated me the most. They were like secret maps inviting you to imagine the hundreds of destinies 14 Henrietta Street witnessed.' Jurišić photographs the rooms, the surfaces, the marks left by inhabitants across generations; Meehan responds in poetry that follows the stratigraphy of the building. Together the book offers an extended meditation on a single domestic site as a hinge of social history. The volume is signed and includes an RRB-exclusive print.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
