Join a special guided tour about the artefacts and shrines connected to Irish saints and how Christianity influenced the development of writing.

Visitors can also view relics of other Irish saints in the Treasury exhibition, learn about the preservation of the Fadden More Psalter, and discover the role of writing and scholarship in Early Medieval Ireland.
