Explore & Learn

The National Museum of Ireland has long been a resource for primary, second and third level students and educators, providing a broad range of services - including guided tours; demonstrations and workshops; an information and resource service; professional development courses and activities for teachers.

The Museum's exhibitions are a valuable resource for teachers and students. 

At the Museum you can:

• Learn through observation of original artefacts
• Investigate how archaeologists and historians work to understand about life, work, culture and society in the past
• Look for evidence using primary resources, through 'discovery' learning
• Study history, local history, art, craft and design, art history, religious knowledge, drama, geography, mathematics and science
• Make links across a range of subjects through an integrated and cross-curricular approach to learning

Teachers and students are welcome visitors to the National Museum of Ireland.

The Museum also offers an outreach service.
