If you are missing some of our guided tours, have a listen to our new online series of short talks based on selected objects, presented by Museum guides and staff.
This is a series of short films focusing on artefacts on display in the exhibition Proclaiming a Republic: The 1916 Rising at the National Museum of Ireland – Decorative Arts & History, Collins Barracks, Dublin 7. Our guides and members of our team were asked to select an object from the exhibition that resonated with them in some way, and give a short talk about that object.
