We are delighted to have started our new partnership with Humanarium, the latest initiative from Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. On a recent Culture Club we invited participants for a tour of their exhibition ‘Heart: more than a beat.'

Here’s what one participant had to say about their experience at Culture Club in Humanarium:

"Nice location. Well thought out exhibition space, easy to hear presentation."

We look forward to continuing our work with Humanarium to provide opportunities for people to discover this new cultural space in Dublin.
