I Go To The National Museum of Ireland

The collection of prehistoric goldwork ranges in date between 2200 BC and 500 BC. 

Most are pieces of jewellery but the precise function of some is unknown.

During the Early Bronze Age the principal gold products were made from sheet gold, and include the crescentic gold collars.

Around 1200 BC new gold working techniques were developed. 

During this time a great variety of torcs were made by twisting bars or strips of gold.

Thankfully, admission is free to all Museums, 'Decorative Arts & History', 'Country Life', 'Natural History' and 'Archaeology.' 

We paid only parking fee. A parking receipt must be on the dashboard of the car.

I Go To National Gallery of Ireland

Hugh Douglas Hamilton / Cupid and Psyche in the Nuptial Bower

The very first day when we left France to Ireland, we visited the  National Gallery of Ireland.

Ireland is famous for its folklore of supernatural beings. Among the most enchanting creatures are the Irish fairies.

At first, I thought that the painting depicted fairies but actually it did not.

The classical tale of "Cupid and Psyche" came to be read as an allegory for voyages of the soul on earth and union with the divine after death. Psyche's butterfly wings are a symbol of the soul.
