On the 18th of February we had a class outing. We visited the Bodies Exhibition in the Ambassador, the Hugh Lane Gallery and the Science Gallery in Trinity College.

We met on Wednesday morning at 10:30 outside the Ambassador Theatre. We walked around the exhibition and saw real life bodies cut open which i found very interesting. It was a once in a life time experience which everyone should experience in my opinion.

We then went to the Hugh Lane Gallery. There we saw many unusual (and very expensive) paintings. A funny tour guide explained some of the history of the artists and paintings which had us all laughing. We all bought something small in the gift shop to remember the day. I bought this card:

After that we went to Mc Donalds for some food and hit Starbucks before going to Trinity to the Science Gallery to see the lightwave exhibition. It was very interesting the things you can do with light We all really enjoyed the dark tent with the bean bags and LED lights.

It was a very enjoyable day
