Jack Yeats’s Olympic Silver Medal which was awarded him in 1924 for ‘The Liffey Swim’ is also included in a display of photographic and archive material which is available to view now.

 

Portrait and medal will be in the Millennium Wing of the Gallery for the duration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
