What's on for Primary Schools

Children taking part in an activity trail at the National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street

Dear Teacher,

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 creating a family tree and exploring prehistoric Ireland through Stone and Bronze Age artefacts, to examining Ireland’s food and fashion history or imagining what it’s like to stand face-to-face with a dodo skeleton—our events help students connect with Ireland’s 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.
