As part of the Samhlaíocht Easter Arts Festival KCM offered free admission on Easter Saturday. As we hoped, this generated a great response and the Museum was packed with over 200 people visiting. Last November and December we had a similar response when we opened the doors free of charge for a trial period. Normally one of the quietest times of the year, the Museum was buzzing in the lead up to Christmas, and most of the local schools took the opportunity to pay us a visit. In fact the KCM attracted over 2,000 extra visitors as a direct result of the free admission. Hopefully this is an experiment we can try again so check back for future announcements!
