We invite you to a marathon screening of Cartoon Saloon’s Irish Folklore Trilogy, presented in conjunction with the exhibition Celtic Art Across the Ages (March 6–August 2, 2026). After each animated film, head to the Materials Lab and Lower Level area to try your hand at drawing characters, symbols, and more from the trilogy.
Please note that these films contain sequences of violence and action throughout and may be more comfortable for ages 8 and older.
The films will run in the following order:
10:30–11:45am: The Secret of Kells, 2009 (Cartoon Saloon; English; 75 min.)
12:45–2:15pm: Song of the Sea, 2014 (Cartoon Saloon; English; 93 min.)
2:45–4:30pm: Wolfwalkers, 2020 (Cartoon Saloon; English; 102 min.)
Celtic Art Across the Ages offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore masterful metalwork, including exquisitely decorated weaponry, jewelry, and horse and chariot trappings of the first millennium BCE Iron Age and early medieval times, all brought to light through archaeological discoveries of the last 200 years.
