Christmas Presence at the Hunt
DIRECTOR of Hunt Museum Dr Hugh Maguire delivers news of ‘Christmas Presence’ storytellers at the Hunt this Saturday 10 from 1pm to 5pm.
“A twinkle of Christmas magic has made it possible for the charming spirits of previous owners of objects housed by The Hunt Museum to be present for this special family event. This interactive storytelling session will give children the opportunity to talk with and ask questions of characters from the Bronze Age, Medieval and Victorian Ireland, Tudor England and the ancient world”.
The concept is created and directed by Limerick based artists, Aoife Cox and Mary Conroy. Tours are at 1.30pm, 2.30pm and 3.30pm and children, accompanied by an adult, take up a goodie bag. Book on education@huntmuseum.com.
