''The demesne of an Irish revolutionary''

'St Enda's': The Pearse Museum, St Enda’s, is located in a lovely demesne variously called 'The Grange’ or 'The Hermitage, where St Enda’s boys school was located. This museum is dedicated to the memory of Ireland’s renowned revolutionary poet, teacher and Gaelgeoir, Patrick Pearse, who led the 1916 rebellion and was executed for his role in this. The exhibition tells in a very interactive way, his life, his work, and the famous school that he established. It also allows you to see a number of rooms of the old school, which gives you more appreciation for the man, his dreams, his works and his vision.
