As midwinter approaches, explore the galleries at the National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street and discover how people spent winters past, the games they played, and how they stayed safe on pilgrimages.

Pick up our Medieval Christmas Trail and meet Laoch Living History re-enactors: a pilgrim, a monk, a games master, and even a barber-surgeon! In the Learning Resource Room, create your own Christmas card using calligraphy and medieval interlace.

No booking required. Activities take place throughout the galleries; craft is on the first floor (not wheelchair accessible).
