Sixth Year Art Students Visit the National Museum of Ireland

As part of their visual studies for the Leaving Certificate Art examination, Sixth Year Art students recently enjoyed an educational visit to the National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology. This enriching trip gave students the opportunity to explore Ireland’s pre-Christian past, with a particular focus on the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age.

During the visit, students examined a wide range of archaeological artefacts and learned how early Irish societies lived and expressed themselves visually.

This visit was an excellent example of how learning can be extended beyond the classroom, allowing students to engage directly with Ireland’s rich cultural and artistic heritage in a real world setting.
