Design your own bird helmet inspired by the Samurai Armour on display in the Museum’s ‘Out of Storage’ exhibition
Watch this short video, created by artist Renata Pekowska, where she will show you how to make a helmet in this step-by-step tutorial. This activity requires a variety of different material, including cardboard, rulers, pens, scissors, glue, clips, colouring pencils and your imagination.
We regret that some of our Military History galleries at the National Museum of Ireland - Decorative Arts & History, Collins Barracks, Dublin 7, are temporarily closed for repairs
Our current restoration work means the first floor of our museum is closed. This limits our capacity so visitors should be prepared to wait in line outside for up to 1 hour
