On Tuesday, we went directly to a home economics class and were instructed on how to make two traditional Irish foods: Irish Soda bread and scones. Then the teachers/chefs split us into groups of two and we each made scones, which turned out to be similar to flaky biscuits, only better. We then went on to the Hugh Lane Gallery. The museum was interesting, as they were displaying a
reconstructed workshop of famous painter Francis Bacon. Using archaeologists,
they excavated his apartment and reconstructed it at the museum. They also had a
piece by Robert Ballagh that we had learned about previously in Spanish class.
The writers museum featured many hosts of various writers, and its interactive
speaker system was perfect for conveying the history and significance of each
exhibit.
