RTÉ television turned 60 on New Year’s Eve, and RTÉ is marking the occasion with a special photographic exhibition at the National Photographic Archive in Dublin. Ireland on the Box explores six decades of television in Ireland, through entertainment, drama, sport, music, education and news and current affairs programming. Curated by RTÉ Archives, and supported by the National Library of Ireland, the exhibition tells the story of a nation through the television it consumed.
