All groups that wish to visit the Museum, including educational visits, must make a booking in advance through the Bookings Office.
Groups that arrive without a booking may not be able to enter the Museum, or there may be a delay, depending on available capacity.
All groups must provide at least one week's notice for the Bookings Office to process the booking request and check availability for the preferred date of your visit.
Our current guidelines for group visits reflect the NMI Child Protection Policy:
-
All groups who wish to visit must contact the Bookings Office to arrange a booking, including all of the following: International Schools, Colleges and Universities based in Ireland or abroad, After-School Groups, Summer Camps and Language Schools, Tour Groups and special interest groups
-
We cannot accept bulk bookings as visitor slots are limited. Due to visitor volumes, we would suggest that afternoon visits be considered for best availability.
-
Please note that we require a supervisory ratio of one teacher/leader to every 15 students for groups with members under 18 years of age. In the case of groups with children under seven yaers of age, or those with special educational needs, a supervisory ratio of one teacher/leader to every 10 students is required
-
The Group Leader(s) must remain with their group at all times during the visit
-
This will be a self-guided visit (as we are unable to offer guided tours at this time)
