Description
The Museum will celebrate St. Patrick's Day Weekend with a free Children's Discovery Day of activities, highlighted by Irish children's author Derek Mulveen, from Galway, who will thrill kids with his celebrated illustrated book Oisin the Brave: Moon Adventure (http://www.eireskids.com ). The story sees Oisín and his dragon, Orane of N'Scaul, travel through the Dolmen of Time to discover the mystery behind a strange flashing light coming from the surface of the moon. Illustrated by Galway’s Michelle Melville, the book — which is aimed at children aged three to seven — ignites the imagination with beautiful illustrations and exciting characters. During Mulveen’s interactive program the audience will also be slowly introduce to the Irish language. One does not need to be Irish to enjoy this fantastic family day!
