Bring learning to life this autumn with the National Museum of Ireland’s exciting programme for primary schools! Across our sites in Dublin and Mayo, we’re offering a rich variety of hands-on workshops, immersive guided tours, and engaging classroom activities designed to spark curiosity and support curriculum learning.
From exploring how clothing and food fashions have changed through time, discovering how the Vikings lived in Ireland, learning about Halloween traditions with storyteller Niall de Búrca, to examining the fossils of a giant Irish Deer, our events connect students with Ireland’s vibrant heritage in fun and meaningful ways.
With limited spaces available and popular sessions like the new Dead Zoo Lab at Collins Barracks opening for school visits, we encourage early booking to avoid disappointment.
