Join us on Friday, 3 July, for First Fridays at MoLI! The museum will be open late from 6pm to 9pm, with free admission and a special programme of exhibitions, readings and live performances throughout the evening.

Explore Wild Earth, our newest exhibition examining the relationship between Irish writers and the natural world through poetry and prose spanning from the sixth century to the present day.

At 6.30pm, historian Donal Fallon joins Liam Cagney for a discussion of Berghain Nights: A Journey through Techno and Berlin Club Culture, exploring the history and mythology of Berlin's most famous nightclub.

At 8pm, award-winning drummer, composer and improviser Matthew Jacobson presents an immersive solo performance blending drones, ambient textures, grooves and glitch-inspired sounds.

Free admission. No booking required. Please note that events throughout the evening operate on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before the listed start time to guarantee entry, as event spaces have limited capacity.
