1. The Yeats museum. 1. The Yeats museum. The first place our class went to

was the Yeats museum. The entire exhibition was

interactive, we were able to read the original manuscripts of Yeats poems.

The focus stays mainly on the works and writings of Yeats, but his life is also explored.

2. National gallery of 2. National gallery of IrelandIrelandNext we went to the National gallery

of Ireland which houses the Irish national collection of Irish and European art.

A tour guide gave us a brief tour around the gallery, showing us six very different pictures from different eras.

My favourite was properly “the opening of the sixth seal” by Francis Danby due to it’s very striking message and its unique history.

4. Bog bodies4. Bog bodies After lunch, our class went to the

National museum of Ireland to have a look at the bog bodies.

It was really amazing to see the preservation of these bodies, despite the fact most of them dated back to between 400 BC and 200 BC.
