A variety of engaging, free public tours exploring the NMI's collections will be offered at Collins Barracks throughout the month of February.

Over the bank holiday weekend, join us for public tours in celebration of St. Brigid's Day. From 3 - 5 February, tours will showcase the histories of remarkable women, including designer and architect Eileen Gray, and the various symbols that have been used to represent Ireland through time.

On leap day, don't miss our special behind-the-scenes tour of the Conservation studios of the National Museum of Ireland, starting at 2pm.

Booking is not required, however spaces are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
