First of all my class, Emnet, went to the "bog boddies" exhibition in the national history. It was amazing as we got to see humans that were preserved within the bogs from hundreds of years ago.
I found one body particularly interesting. This was the body of what is thought to have been a noble or a king of a village who had been sacraficed to the land. The archeaologits believe this because the only remains of the body is his torso and his two arms and hands. This suggests that he would have first been be-headed and then his legs chopped off.
A guide braught us around the rest of the museum and she went through the different ages showing us many different artefacts. I loved the exhibition on prehistoric ireland and i found it interesting to see all the different types of objects they made out of bronze, stone, gold and glass.
After this we went to the national library for a guided tour of the W.B Yeats exhibition. I found this very interesting and i loved hearing about his love affairs and his unforunate luck with love in life. There were loads of artefacts around and videos that we were aloud to look at.
After this, we were aloud and hour and a half to get lunch. I went to a lovley "all you can eat" Chinese with Zoe, Laura, Fiona, Jessica and Rachel. It was amazing and we ate so much!
After our lunch we made our way back to the national art gallery and got a guided tour around. Some of the paintings were amazing and you could sit in front of them for hours. I realy enjoyed our day in town and plan to go back to the national history museum soon :)
