About this event
Discover Mesolithic fish-traps, food of Neolithic Ireland, wonderful gold objects of the Irish Bronze Age, and artefacts from Iron Age Ireland.
This tour, inspired by the SESE Primary History Curriculum, weaves through the changes and continuity of prehistoric Ireland by using key objects from the Museum’s collection to inform us about the people and changes of each period.
No booking required, places allocated on a first come first served basis. Meet in the Reception, on the ground floor. Families with children 7+.
Sat 10 May & Sat 24 May at 14:00 (ISL Interpretation provided on this tour)
