Education Resources

At Photo Museum Ireland, we offer a diverse range of educational resources for children, young people, and educators. These resources are curated in response to our exhibition programme, using each exhibition as a starting point to support learning, critical thinking, and engagement with contemporary photography.

Various hands are seen working with materials, including a child using a glue stick and an adult drawing on paper. The table is covered with art supplies such as colored pencils, scissors, and various cut-out images, including photographs, artwork, and magazine clippings. The atmosphere appears creative and collaborative, with people of different ages participating in the activity.
