Museums and Mc Donalds

so, last thursday, we went to three different museums in dublin city. We went to the National Gallery, the Natural History Museum and the National Library of Ireland.

In the national gallery, we saw many interesting paintings by famous artists. My personal favorite painting was called "The Convent Garden" by William Leech.

I like this painting because of the bright colours and the different techniques used.
Another painting i liked was by Jack B Yeats. This painting is called The Liffey Swim. i like this picture because of the colours in the river makes it look as if its moving.

in the Natural History Museum, we visited the Bog Bodies. These are bodies that have been found in the bog 100's of years after their time of death. Most of them are males between 25 and 35 years old. They are usually found on the boundary lines so historians think that they are the bodies of previous rulers that have been murdered.

We also saw the WB Yeats exhibition in the National Library of Ireland. We learned about the life and career of the well known poet.

Afterwards, we walked to Grafton Street and wandered around for about an hour and a half. We went to Mc Donalds for lunch and when we finished, we went to Starbucks
