Open House Dublin

OPEN HOUSE DUBLIN This is a unique and hugely interesting event. For the third year Open House Dublin is taking place, this year on 16-19 Oct 2008. Over the 4 days a large amount of buildings (136!!) - most of them are normally not accessible - can be visited and guided tours are provided in most locations. All is provided for free and it is a bit like a 3-day Culture Night that focuses on buildings and architecture.

shepthedog · 14-10-2008 10:55am

Open house looks great.. I wonder will there be any restrictions on cameras tho? Maybe depends on the venue?
Anyone here do it last year?

l pearse · 15-10-2008 8:58am

Mmmmmm! l see Croke park is one venue opened to the public.
The map on the Linky gives adresses too. Ta kjt.
