Ionad an Bhlascaoid (museum)

This is another OPW site, so we used our Horizon cards for free entry.
The museum is all about the inhabitants of The Blasket Islands. If you recall from yesterday's tour, this is the island that held inhabitants until the 1950's. We saw the grey seals here.
We learned a lot about the life of these people. At its peak, 180 people lived here. They never had electricity. Their life was extremely hard.
I could write and write about all we learned. Instead, I suggest you Google the many books written by authors from the oral storytellers directly. I bought a book at a local bookshop today to learn more.Leggi altro
