June is Gypsy, Roma, Traveller History Month.

To acknowledge our Gypsy, Romani and Traveller communities, the Liverpool Irish Festival has partnered with

• Irish Community Care
• National Museums Liverpool, and
• Pride of Romani

…to build and show a digital exhibition, named Life, Love and Laments. Available to see, in the atrium of the Museum of Liverpool, the exhibition charts family lines through Gypsy, Romani and Traveller communities in the north west; sharing personal stories, terms and histories.

We would like to thank all the partners -and particularly Charmaine Smith- for the contributions made. A PDF of the slides can be viewed here.

You can also pick up on the Irish Trail running through the Museum (link for more info on that, here).
