About this event

The Dublin Festival of History is an annual event that provides free talks, tours, workshops and more to share and celebrate fascinating histories all around Dublin.

As part of the Dublin Festival of History, join Museum educators at the Phibsboro Library to explore the fascinating 300-year old history of Collins Barracks and the collections it houses.

Hands-on History: From Barracks to Museum is an interactive handling session with objects from the Museum’s handling collection that tell the story of this imposing structure on the banks of the Liffey and the many people who have populated its long life.

This drop-in handling session, which has been organised in collaboration with Phizzfest, will take place in Phibsboro Library from 2:45 to 4:45pm on Saturday, 12 October.

No booking is required, come and go as you please!
