Pop-up at Kerry County Museum: Of Mermaids and Dragons

Join our pop-up event at Kerry County Museum on Saturday 13th May, where we’ll explore the wondrous stories of Saint Brendan the Navigator through mixed media workshops.

Did you know that Saint Brendan was born in Fenit, County Kerry more than 1500 years ago? He founded many monasteries in Ireland but he is most famous for his legendary voyage across the Atlantic. His travel adventures were written down in monasteries all over Europe and soon became a major medieval bestseller. Brendan’s tales of meeting mermaids, dragons and seamonsters are still well-known worldwide. To mark the feastday of Kerry’s seafaring patron saint on 16 May, children will be creating art inspired by some of the awesome creatures Brendan met on his travels. Children can either take their creations home or they can go on display in our pop-up exhibition.

The workshops are drop-in, open from 11am until 3:30pm (not timetabled). Children go for free as part of as part of KCM’s family offer and adults pay museum admission fee (€5) at the door. No pre-booking required.
