Viewing the Exhibits
Here, the happy couple can be seen reacting to public fanfare from their last tour of the States. Perhaps you were lucky enough to see them then as they cycled coast to coast reading from their 1994 book, "ReJoyce-ing on the Road With the McHaggises: Collected Joyce-isms from Cork to Vienna."
