Dublin Tour :D

Last Thursday both TY classes went to the National Art Gallery and National History Museum. We went to go see the Bog Boddies in the NHM which was actually kinda disgusting to look at them but was really interesting as well to hear about how they were found, how they died, weither they were male or female. We got to see 3 bog boddies, 2 were male and 1 was female. They looked really horrible because the weight of the bog had flattened there bodies and there skin looked like leather, also their hair was stil perfectly preserved. I didn't expect to see the bodies flat or leather like skin at all. After that we went to go see the Jack B Yaets exhibition, which consisted of his early life, replicas of his apartments, his original poety in the original notebooks. We learned about his family tree and I foudn out that lots of his relatives were all very famous artists or poets etc. Most of his family seemed to be interested in the arts. But also I learned that he didn't marry until he was around the age of 52 which is really old because all of the previous women he had asked to marry all said no. I learned that Jack Yaets was really interested in star signs, communicating with the dead and magic etc. Then we had lunch and most people went to McDonals but I went to Jimmy Chungs which is an all you can east chinease resturant that actually has really nice food :D I was kinda expecting to get food poisoning from the food but I didn't :L The last place we went to was the NAG to go see different famous artists and to see Jack B Yaets. We saw how his artwork style had changed during the years of his life and other famous irish paintings. Overall it was a really good day and I think everyone enjoyed it :)
