Welcome to the blog of the Education & Outreach Department of the National Museum of Ireland – Collins Barracks.
The National Museum consists of four sites: Collins Barracks, Turlough Park, Archaeology, and Natural History. Each site has a dedicated E&O team who create programmes, workshops, and resources centred around the objects in their museum site. Here at Collins Barracks, we aim to provide moments of curiosity, creativity, and connection for visitors and the public to engage with our wide-ranging collections.
In Lighting Sparks, we will share insights into the work of our department, ranging from behind-the-scenes of our programmes to research highlights to days in the life of our staff members. We hope you enjoy!
