The Ark and its collection

The Ark which is located in Europe, in the heart of Temple Bar, opened in 1995 as the first dedicated cultural centre for children. It hosts an outdoor ampitheatre, workshop, indoor theatre and gallery spaces. Children can visit the museum accompanied by their parents, friends, relatives or with their school to discover and love the art. The Ark collaborates with famous artists both Irish and International to ensure children enjoy performances in their theatres. The name Ark was chosen based on the fact that it is an easy name for the children to say, read and write.
