The National Museum Of Ireland

Dates: Autumn / Winter 2024

The National Museum of Ireland has launched its latest programme of guided tours, workshops and resources for primary and post primary schools for the autumn/winter 2024 term.

Available from September 2024, the programme offers students an opportunity to explore priceless treasures, Ireland’s military past, traditional rural life, natural history and more through guided tours, workshops and classroom resources.

All of the activities are designed to complement the primary and post primary curricula and are offered free of charge to schools.

Schools can visit three Museum sites in Dublin and Co Mayo this year. Click on a location below to see what is on offer at each Museum.

The NMI – Natural History, also known as the ‘Dead Zoo’, closed on 2 September 2024, so a school visit is not possible at this location. However, teachers can still book a virtual session for your school and explore the fascinating Natural History Collections through a range of classroom activities and resources.
