On Tuesday 26^th September the LCA art students went on a guided tour of Athlone Castle and Luan Gallery. The students learned about the history of the Castle, Athlone Town and the Siege of Athlone. The visit was fantastic as they got to see several artefacts, videos and even got to dress up in medieval costumes!

Luan Art Gallery didn’t disappoint either. Students were given a guided tour of their current exhibition “Symbols of Subject”, a collection of artwork from TUS Athlone. The students got an opportunity to see the work of some of Irelands greatest artist including Louis Le Brocquy, William Crozier along with many more. Our tour guide Helene Lepaon gave the students a wonderful insight into the work on display and abstract art.
