Dublinia

Ideal for primary school tours, Dublinia is located right in the heart of Dublin City Centre at Christchurch and explores life in Viking and Medieval Dublin. It is one of the top school attractions in Dublin. What your visit will be like: Your visit will start with a journey through the city as it was in Viking and Medieval Dublin. Students will engage with reconstructions of Dublins past and experience what life was like in Viking times. They will explore a Viking house, hear the story Dublins Viking King Sitric Silkbeard and feel the weight of Viking weaponry. Next their journey will take them to Medieval Dublin after the Anglo-Norman arrival in 1169A.D. Here, students will explore fascinating sensory reconstructions of a Medieval house and street, stalls in a Medieval fair, and hear the gruesome history of the Black Death. New for 2020 to end your class visit, they will enjoy an audio-visual experience of one mans life growing up in Medieval Dublin in a flying visit over Dublin city as it was in Medieval times.
