Transition Year Programme

The Museum is delighted to host two exciting and interactive weeklong immersive Transition Year work experiences in February 2026, in Collins Barracks, Dublin and Turlough Park, Mayo.

Over the course of five days, you will have the opportunity to learn about the important work of preserving and presenting cultural heritage, engaging with communities and creating meaningful learning experiences, through a combination of talks and workshops with Museum staff, and hands-on activities. This work experience is intended for students thinking about pursuing a career in the museum and cultural heritage sector, but is also suitable for students with an interest in the role of museums in modern society.
