    Some of Ireland's great national treasures are in the National Museum.
    Others walk softly in the fields.

      @@sitluxetluxfuit4481 Indeed.... But I didn't say that they were on display... Some years ago I was friends with a conservator who worked in the national museum and they said that what's on public display is a mere fraction of the truly amazing stuff in secure storage that will never see the light of day.
