'State of the art' visitor experience sheds new light on NewgrangeThe visitor experience, almost a year in the making, tells the story of the construction of the Neolithic passage tomb at Newgrange around 3,200BC - before Stonehenge or the Great Pyramid of Giza - and its annual winter solstice alignment. A parallel visitor experience project has also been developed at the nearby Knowth passage tomb complex, which will open in the New Year. Further works are also planned at the site of the Newgrange passage tomb itself.
