This is an insightful and entertaining exploration of the Book of Kells, Trinity College, the National Archaeology Museum and the highlights of the Irish collection of the National Gallery. Trinity college is Ireland's oldest university, established by Queen Elizabeth in 1592. We will explore the cobblestoned squares of the university and visit the Book of Kells exhibition. We will also visit the Old Library, a spectacular 18th century library with its galleries normally containing 200, 000 books. Please note: the Old Library is currently being restored. The books are no longer in the galleries as this restoration is happening. After Trinity College we will make our way to the National Archaeology Museum to explore the Treasury and the Bog Bodies Exhibition. We will then walk to the National Gallery where we will view some of the masterpieces of the Irish art collection.
Here are some of the places we will explore: - Trinity College - Ireland's oldest, and arguably prettiest university. -The Book of Kells Exhibition and the Old Library (please note: there are presently no books in the galleries due to ongoing restoration works). - The National Archaeology Museum - we will explore the Treasury including the iconic Tara Brooch, and visit the unusual Bog Bodies exhibition, the preserved remains of ancient Irish kings. - The National Gallery - we will visit this magnificent gallery where we will view a handful of paintings from the Irish collection. All of these will be in someway linked to Irish culture and history. - We will finish up at the Oscar Wilde memorial in the beautiful Merrion Square, that was built in the 1760s during the Georgian period.
