Marine Institute to present sea-themed events on Culture Night
Sat, Sep 14, 2024
Every Galwegian worth their salt has looked east along the Bay and spotted the sun glinting from the Marine Institute building, nestled behind the embrace of Rinville Point’s gorse and grassy dunes.
It is a majestic, award-winning crescent of steel, wood, blocks and acres of sparkling glass designed by State architect Ciarán O’Connor, situated on a crooked finger of land pointing into the apex of our Atlantic bay. In it sits Rick Officer, the new chief executive of Ireland’s national maritime agency with responsibility for informing scientific, economic, environmental, agricultural and industrial development of Ireland's enormous and abundant seas.
