The National Museum of Ireland is a great educational tool for all students. Research shows that we don't all learn in the same way. The museum offers another way for people to engage with history! Take it outside the classroom as students see real artefacts that they read about when (if) they do their homework. They'll have a fun day out based on what they learn in school. Sneaky? Yes. Effective? Also yes! ;)
