We were delighted to welcome delegates and staff from the British Museum International Training Programme to all our National Museums last week. Take a read at what one participant, Namrata, thought of the experience.

Fancy cheering on your favourite donkey as they take part in a fancy dress competition? How about watching a donkey winning an egg and spoon race or playing musical chairs? Bring the kids and a camera to the 2018 Donkey Breed Society Championship Show this Saturday & Sunday for a fun-filled day out. www.nmni.com/whats-on/donkey-breed-society-championship-2018

Follow the sign to Ballydugan Weaver’s Cottage, meander down the quiet country lane and you'll be transported right back to the 1850s. The wonders of a weekend wander with us. We're open from 10am to 5pm each day.

100 year ago today, RMS Carpathia was torpedoed and sunk by the Imperial German Navy submarine U-55 off the Irish coast. All of the passengers and the surviving crew members boarded the lifeboats as the vessel sank with 218 survivors on 17 July 1918. Five of the crew perished when the second torpedo pierced the engine room. The Carpathia had risen to fame in 1912 having rescued survivors of the Titanic disaster.

Bring the kids and a camera as you get close to these wonderful animals. Cheer on your favourite donkey in the egg and spoon race, musical chairs and the fancy dress competition. Held in partnership with the Donkey Breed Society, the annual Donkey Championship Show is a great day out for the whole family.
