The National Museum's home for rural Irish life, set in parkland at Turlough near Castlebar. Interactive galleries and hands-on activities bring old ways of farming, fishing, craft and home life to life, and there's a lake and grounds to roam. Admission is free, and it's quiet on weekday mornings, so it's an easy, rich day out for home educators. All ages.
