The Chester Beatty Library | Day Out With The Kids

1/1

Dublin
Indoor
Ages 4+
Museums and Art Galleries

The Chester Beatty Library can be found in the grounds of Dublin Castle, which has a great complex of buildings to explore, most of it for free as well, so this is a great location for a low priced family day out with imaginative munchkins!

The library is also an art museum, and has an amazing collection of items from across the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Highlights of the collection include European renaissance and medieval manuscripts, Egyptian papyrus texts, the Bible, and beautiful illuminated copies of the Qur'an. Other interesting items include Persian and Turkish miniatures, striking Buddhist paintings and Chinese Dragon robes!

There are a number of resources to help everyone enjoy their visit and encourage them to draw. There are a number of activity packs for kids aged 3 plus, 5 plus and 8 years plus, which include crosswords, puzzles, and a colouring book. The worksheets can be picked up at reception, or you can download them for free online. If you or any older kids would also like to get involved, a free Activity Booklet for adults and teens is also available online.
