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.
