I concluded my stay in Dublin with a visit to the National Library, the National Gallery, and the Georgian District. The great thing about the UK is that all national buildings are free to entry, that includes all museums! The National Library had a genealogical office where I started my quest to find the birth certificate for my great grand father. They sent me to the Irish Life Center. It ended up that I just didn't have enough information. But I got a start. It was cool to go through all the books of registered births.
The National Gallery had some really famous pieces, a Caravaggio, Monets, Picassos, and Rembrandt. I was satisfied! One thing that I do at every museum I go to is get postcards of the art work that I really loved. I keep a moleskin of all of my tickets, brochures, and postcards from the museums. I need another moleskin now though. I have filled 1 already. But, postcards are a cheap way to remember the great things that you see.
