About this event
This slow looking tour will take a handful of artefacts on display from the Museum’s collection and take the time to pause, look closely and reflect on the artefacts. Explore artefacts from Stone Age to Early Medieval Ireland to see how life adapted and changed from prehistoric to historic Ireland. It is gentle-paced and conversational tour that invites attendees to slow down from the hustle and bustle of life to enjoy the Museum in a mindful and relaxed way.
No booking required, places allocated on a first come first served basis. Meet in the Reception, on the ground floor. Children must be fully supervised by a parent or adult who is in loco parentis.
Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.
