Museums go free for under 25s

NATIONAL museums and monuments are to be free to visit for the under 25s and teachers from April 4.

You can just see Alicia's bum here.

Look where we went on Wednesday.... it's at the Odysseum - quite close to the Aquarium.

Euro10 for a child to get in. Under 18 months free. Euro3 for adults which includes a drink.

There are tables to eat at (bring own food - high chairs supplied) Vending machines - sweets to buy - bookshelves of books and mags free to borrow ..... and two internet stations.


Then there is an area of comfy chairs and another of bean bags...



.. great fun - I'd actually like to do it all myself - but I have to say at the end of the afternoon, my ears just rang!
