Kilkenny’s long and lively history makes it a treasury of Irish heritage and storytelling. Now Centre Screen is proud to be helping to bring that heritage to life for modern visitors, working with Bright 3D on a range of installations in the new Medieval Mile Museum.

The Medieval Mile itself is a heritage trail, stretching from St. Canice’s Cathedral to Kilkenny Castle and taking in several unique historic sites in between, including Rothe House, Kyteler’s Inn and the Smithwick’s Experience. At the heart of Ireland’s Ancient East, Kilkenny is a must-see destination for Irish and international visitors alike. The Museum will offer key interpretation of the trail – and will be a fascinating attraction in its own right.

Currently under construction in St. Mary’s Church and Graveyard, this new cultural centre will feature a range of Centre Screen AV and interactive media, shining a 21st century digital spotlight on over a thousand years of history.

A timeline film will reveal the history of the ancient building around them; an atmospheric AV will introduce them to the characters – both native and invaders – who left their mark on Kilkenny’s art and architecture; and a sound-and-light presentation in the Rothe chapel will immerse them in the lives and deaths of a great merchant family.

Production is already under way, and the museum will welcome its first visitors later this year.
