Education
We provide guided tours tailored to the requirements and interests of each group.
All tours for primary and second-level tours are curriculum linked.
A visit for primary level students can be used to support various aspects of the curriculum including:
- Art, Craft and Design (investigate by looking; learn about artists; architects and designers from different periods; develop observational skills)
- History (how people lived; the changes that took place over different periods and how people were affected by those changes; understanding local history and learning about evidence)
- CSPE (appreciating our environment)
We provide occasional art and craft workshops for children during school holidays and during Heritage Week. Check here or on our Facebook page for details. We are also happy to assist students who are carrying out research on local history.
Please note all group tours must be booked in advance.
A visit to Pearse Museum and St Enda’s Park can also be used to support aspects of the Leaving Certificate History curriculum.
Social and cultural history are particularly relevant. Leaving Certificate Art students are also invited to visit our regular fine art and craft exhibitions which will encourage students to develop an awareness of the importance of the visual arts in our culture and community.
