We are delighted to partner with the Maples Group to offer free self-guided tours and in-person workshop experiences for students in the secondary cycle.

Here at MoLI, we are committed to youth creativity! Our ‘Shut Your Eyes and See!’ programme supports teachers with curricular art strands, literacy and the personal and creative development of students.  ‘Shut Your Eyes and See!’ was originally launched in September 2019 and was initially only made available to primary school children, however, with sponsorship from the Maples Group, MoLI can now expand the enriching programme to secondary level schools.
