About this event
Explore Ireland’s patron saints!
This December, join a special guided tour about the artefacts and shrines connected to Irish saints and how Christianity influenced the development of writing.
Join us to uncover artefacts linked to St. Patrick, St. Brigid, and St. Colmcille, and learn how archaeology reveals the impact of Christianity and the evolution of writing. See relics in the Treasury exhibition, discover the incredible Fadden More Psalter, and explore the role of scholarship in Early Medieval Ireland.
