KERRY County Museum will host ‘History in a Box’, a new, innovative project by The Centre for Digital Humanities, Maynooth University on Saturday, May 12. This free inter-generational workshop is suitable for teenagers aged 12-16 and their parents and grandparents.

History in a Box tells the story of Mount Street Bridge, one of the most significant battles of the 1916 Easter Rising, through an exciting intergenerational workshop.

Discover how the battle unfolded using tablet-based content such as augmented reality, audio and video content, alongside historical documents, photographs, 3D printed buildings and a map of the battlefield.

History in a Box brings history and technology together in a novel way allowing families to learn together as a team. This event is free of charge but booking is essential. It takes place from 11am to 2pm. For more details contact education@kerrymuseum.ie or call Claudia at 066 7127777
