One Floor Open - Two More to Go!!

Reaction to our new groundfloor exhibitions has been overwhelmingly positive since reopening this week - and we're delighted that the public can once again enter the main body of the Museum and view exhibitions on Prehistoric and Medieval Galway (not to mention our favourite son, Pádraic Ó Conaire!).  But while we may be outwardly serene, work continues at a frantic pace behind the scenes as we prepare to open the next two floors in time for next Tuesday (12th July!).  These floors will host exhibitions on:  Dancing in Salthill, Cinema in Galway, the Arts in Galway, Galway and the Wars of Empire (as we had it before closure), as well as two flagship exhibitions for the arts festival:  Lamb in Connemara (an exhibition of painting by Charles Lamb) and Modern Languages, (an exhibition of craft material).  Our opening hours are Tuesday - Saturday, 10am - 5pm, and, of course, it's all free admission!
