HERITAGE WEEK: Public Tour - Museum, House and Gardens
Free Admission
As we celebrate Heritage Week, journey back in time and marvel at the innovation and endurance of our rural ancestors through the Irish Folklife Collection with an experienced Museum guide.
To compliment our Traditional Basketmaking Demonstration at the Museum, we are offering a free guided tour of the Museum Galleries with a focus on the art and craft of basketmaking and how average Irish plants were used to create these objects. Hear how bramble and heather plants were incorporated into basketmaking and the significance of using local materials.
Then discover more about the life of the Fitzgerald family and the history and architectural style of Turlough Park House and Gardens.
Join an experienced Museum guide for these informative and engaging tours, which take place at 2pm and 3pm.
Tours start at Museum Galleries reception. Each tour will be announced by reception. No booking required. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. More information on our Basketmaking Demonstration can be found here.
