Mobile Things – Objects in Motion
We’re surrounded by things that can tell us their own stories, which are also the stories of the long or short journeys they’ve made. Maybe they’re tales about who they used to belong to, how they were used, and the ideas associated with them? Together, we will apply aesthetic research methodology to explore the routes taken by personal items and objects in the museum, as well as looking at what they have in common. We will then create links between them using a creative process that includes both digital and analogue elements. The findings that emerge from the research will be incorporated into mini-exhibitions which will be presented at the end by small groups in a digital session for all the participants.
Duration: 3 hours
A version of this workshop can be held for home schooling and it is also compatible with hybrid learning models. Please get in touch with the education team about the technical requirements (069 212 39898 or ). The workshop will be adapted to suit the age group of the participants. - Workshops based on the Museum’s education collection
The mask as an object
Are there more to masks than meets the eye? What role do people wearing masks adopt? We explore examples of masks belonging to the museum’s educational collection of over 2000 objects from different cultures across the world to examine the phenomenon of masks on a variety of levels – and we design our own personal masks.
Duration: 2,5 hours, Costs: €7.50 per child
