Billion Euro House in Dublin – in pictures
Billion Euro House, an art installation and living space in Dublin's Smithfield district, has been decorated with 1.4bn decommissioned banknotes. Interior walls are built from blocks of the money, and shredded notes cover the walls, floors, tables, chairs and even the toilet bowl. The artist Frank Buckley was given the notes by Ireland's central bank and he has opened his home as a museum
