Sunday 21 October - National Museum, Kildare St



This Sunday we are going to visit the National Museum of History and Archaeology on Kildare Street. 

This wonderful building was built in the 1880s and is an architectural gem.  The exhibitions include the finest collection of prehistoric gold artefacts in Western Europe and much else of interest.  The museum’s website is http://www.museum.ie/en/intro/archaeology-and-ethnography-museum.aspx

We'll meet at 2pm at the main entrance to the Museum.

If you're new to Dublin Sketchers, you'll spot us easily as we'll be holding our sketchpads. Don't worry if you're late - just get stuck in with the drawing

We'll meet again at 4pm at the same place to go for a coffee (probably at the café in the museum) and to enjoy looking at each other's sketchpads

Hope to see you there.

Sunday 14th October - Pearse Museum, Rathfarnham


This Sunday we are going to visit the Pearse Museum at St Enda’s Park in Rathfarnham.

The Pearse Museum is located in a former school run by the patriot Patrick Pearse.  St. Enda's Park is one of Dublin’s most charming and atmospheric parks, with its riverside walks, waterfall and walled garden.  The Museum is a fascinating insight into life at the turn of the 20th Century and includes an interesting nature studies room. 

The website is http://www.heritageireland.ie/en/Dublin/PearseMuseum-StEndasPark/
(Bus Route: No. 16 from City Centre. Get off at the stop opposite the Park on Grange Road.)

We'll meet at 2pm at the main entrance to the Museum.

If you're new to Dublin Sketchers, you'll spot us easily as we'll be holding our sketchpads. Don't worry if you're late - just get stuck in with the drawing

We'll meet again at 4pm at the same place to go for a coffee (probably at the café in the park) and to enjoy looking at each other's sketchpads. 

Hope to see you there.

The Hugh Lane has a number of special exhibitions on show at the moment, including one entitled “Revolutionary States – Home Rule & Modern Ireland” which might be of interest.  If the weather holds up, we can wander across to the Garden Of Remembrance, which includes the beautiful Children of Lir sculpture.  (If anyone is interested in coming a little early, there is a free concert in the sculpture gallery beginning at 12noon. See http://www.hughlane.ie/sunday-concerts for more details)
