I found a few more things to keep you going in between the events that are listed above. ;-)

1) Virtual Tour of the week
This week the National Museum and the National Gallery will both fully open again. So I would like to remind you of their great permanent exhibitions and restarting event programmes.
On the Museum At Home Pages of the National Museum (www.museum.ie/en-ie/museum-at-home) you can see the collections of the four National Museums (Archaeology, Decorative Arts & History, Natural History and Country Life). Have a look at some of the exhibits to get a taste for the museums and hopefully visit the live museum again soon!
The National Gallery has a “National Gallery at home” section with Virtual Tours, Exhibitions, Activities, Podcasts, Videos and lots more details, even a Spotify Playlist section! You find the details here www.nationalgallery.ie/national-gallery-ireland-at-home

2) Online Courses
During the Covid lockdown, enrollments in Udemy courses increased by 425%! Wow! What did you learn during that time? In July most Udemy courses will cost between EUR 10.99 and 12.99, so it is not too late yet to learn something new. Use this link shor.by/GqCk because if you buy through that link, you help the Dublin Event Guide! ;-)

3) Books
A free Book summary per week can be found here: readitfor.me/91927
And to buy books I recommend Book Depository because they are usually cheaper than others and they always include delivery for free (and by using this link you help the Dublin Event Guide): www.bookdepository.com/?a_aid=dubevg
Some of you have asked me to continue with the weekly book suggestions, so here is another one.
Kobe Bryant, the brilliant basketball player, who died just 41 years of age in January 2020 in a helicopter crash, was not “just” a basketball player, but also was inspirational, intelligent and analytical and he wrote a much praised book that was only released after his accident. The book is called “The Mamba Mentality: How I Play” and while a lot in the book is about basketball, it is also a book that explains the mentality of success. www.bookdepository.com/book/9781471190148/?a_aid=dubevg
