The Three Muses is a learning programme for primary school pupils designed to increase access and enjoyment of the collections of Limerick Museum, Limerick City Gallery of Art and The Hunt Museum, with a focus on modern and contemporary art.
Participating schools will be offered the following elements:
Museum workshop (full day)
Groups will have the opportunity to visit either The Hunt Museum, Limerick City Gallery of Art or Limerick Museum for a full day of learning and practical art activities.
Workshops generally last between 10 am-1.30 pm with a lunch break in between. Workshops are led by experienced facilitators and draw upon artworks and objects from all three collections.
Pupils will be supported to creatively respond to artworks in the context of the museum and gallery and explore how identities are expressed through art.
Throughout the day there will be opportunities to look and respond to artworks, practice new vocabulary and presentation skills in order to build confidence and a sense of shared ownership of Limerick’s cultural heritage.
There will also be a practical element, with pupils creating their own artworks in response to the collections.
Activity pack and learning resources for teachers and pupils
Teachers can prepare pupils for their upcoming visit by introducing key concepts, vocabulary and themes using a classroom activity pack provided to all participating groups.
Each pupil will also receive an activity pack and a self-guided workbook to take home with them.
Pupils from schools across Limerick discover three museums through workshops and activities to develop their understanding of art while exploring the theme of identity across the collections.

Memorare: An exhibition by Mary Nagle
“This is a show about memory, the act of remembering, and resonance; the quiet resonance of the past softly resounding around us. Memorare is a meditative show. Mary Nagle offers us a succession of fragile, beautiful objects using vernacular forms and delicate materials – hair, paper, ash – as objects of quiet contemplation.”
– Dr. Tracy Fahey, LSAD.
“Memorare pays homage to the women who passed through the gates of the Convent of the Good Shepherd, Limerick’s Magdalene Laundry. The exhibition commemorates their lives, their work, their love and their devastating losses.”
– Dr. Susan Halvey, LSAD.
The exhibition will be held at the LSAD Gallery, Limerick School of Art and Design, Clare Street, Limerick.
