Capture the imagination of your students, make learning fun, and discover what your class can learn from the Museum.

Our workshops, virtual sessions, activities and resources are:

  • Linked to the national curriculum for Primary
  • Designed by our experienced Education Team and created to enable your students to expand their knowledge, gain deeper understanding, and develop new skills
  • Created for teachers and students to engage with the extensive collections of the National Museum of Ireland
  • All resources, activities, and sessions are free of charge
