During this FAMILY-FRIENDLY workshop, participants will explore one of the artworks on display at Dublin Castle. This time, we’ll be taking our inspiration from the painting entitled ‘Minerva with Her Sacred Bird, the Owl’ (1767) by Gaetano Gandolfi.

Participants will use materials from the Education Room to create their own MINERVA OWL MASKS!

This is an opportunity to Learn,discuss and create using the rich art collection of the State Apartments at Dublin Castle.

This workshop is free of charge. Booking is essential, as places are limited.
