Continuing
to celebrate National Heritage week and in conjunction with Gallows Hill
Community Archaeology Project, Waterford County Museum held an enjoyable
workshop for children and their parents on Wednesday 21st
August.
This event organised by Tony
Hayes involved the children making their own model of a Viking Longboat and it
proved very successful. Parents, staff
and the children all got involved in the cutting, pasting and colouring. When the boats were finished the children
enjoyed posing for photographs with the reproduction Viking swords and helmets.
The
museum feels it is important to have events such as this to introduce children
to history and their local museum. Many
of our exhibits are suitable for children and we welcomed families from all
over the world throughout the summer months.
