We went to the Parliament building, Leinster House, in the morning, and for a person who's not interested in politics, this was a good time to learn about it for Ireland because it would have been so hard for me to learn about it myself. After the educational activity at Parliament, we took the 67 public bus to the National Museum of Ireland Collins Barracks. This museum exhibits military history, clothing, furniture, silver, ceramics, coins, and glassware. One thing I didn't really like about this museum was that it was so hard to get around. Some elevators only go down or up to certain floors. Also, it seemed like a maze, so we ended up going around looking for exits.
In December 1988, The government decided to close Collins Barracks as a military installation. In September 1993, after many committees discussed about this, they decided to develop this site as an extra venue for the National Museum of Ireland. At present the Museum is working to a planned building program for the use of the rest of the 18 acres of the site. The barracks and central square are named after Michael Collins.
