What to expect...
A free self-guided Easter trail for families at the National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks. Kids work through riddles, hunt for artefacts, and look closely at objects around the museum while exploring the collections in a more active way. It suits families who prefer to move at their own pace rather than join a scheduled workshop or tour.
The trail runs during the Easter midterm and does not require booking. It takes place in the regular museum setting, so expect a gallery-based visit with plenty of walking between displays. The format is flexible and works well for school-age children who enjoy puzzles and object-spotting, with adults helping younger kids along the way.
