Welcome back to school! As the new academic year begins, the National Museum of Ireland is delighted to invite post-primary schools to explore our exciting Autumn 2025 programme.
From hands-on workshops to immersive tours, our events are designed to spark curiosity, support classroom learning, and bring history, culture, and creativity to life. With limited spaces available, we encourage early booking to ensure your students don’t miss out on these enriching experiences.
Schools can visit three Museum sites in Dublin and Mayo this year. Click on a location below to see What's on for Post Primary Schools at each Museum.
The newly opened Dead Zoo Lab at Collins Barracks will be taking school bookings from Monday, 15 September. School group visits to the Dead Zoo Lab will begin on Monday, 29 September 2025. In the meantime, please visit the Engage & Learn website pages for a range of curriculum-linked classroom activities.
