Culture Night at Academy House

Come and explore the Royal Irish Academy - a hidden Georgian gem tucked away on Dawson Street. View the earliest example of Irish writing - the 6th century Cathach, have a go at some ogham writing and colouring (suitable for 4-12 years) and visit our current exhibition, browse the pop-up bookshop, delve into the maps and texts from the Irish Historic Towns Atlas programme, learn how dictionaries are made with the Dictionary of Irish Biography, and the Dictionary of Medieval Latin from Celtic Sources, discover the wonderful online collections of the Digital Repository of Ireland, and talk to staff members from the National Open Research Forum (NORF), and the Discovery Programme.
