The iconic Clerys clock has been fully restored and revealed in time for a historical exhibition opening inside the former Dublin department store.
The fully-restored clock was unveiled by the Lord Mayor of Dublin this morning as part of both the opening of the exhibition and the reopening of the building itself - and it needed some quick readjustment as it was about 15 minutes early. The restored Clerys Quarter shopping centre inside the building will open in four months’ time
But people are now once again able to go inside the O'Connell Street building to see the historical exhibition Clerys: The Archives. Lord Mayor Caroline Conroy said: “The Clerys building is an iconic Dublin landmark, and it is tremendous news for the city to see it restored to its full glory. The Clerys Exhibition, which opens today, charts the exceptional history of this building and its role in the centre of Dublin life for generations.”
