Cruinniú na nÓg is a flagship initiative by Creative Ireland to enable the creative potential of children and young people.
The inaugural Cruinniú na nÓg took place on 23 June 2018 and, for the past number of years, young people and families have come together to enjoy a wide range of creative activities on the day, including workshops, tutorials, recitals, readings and more in cities, towns and villages across the country.
This year's Cruinniú na nÓg takes place on Saturday, 10 June, and the National Museum of Ireland is delighted to participate once again. Find out more below.
