Bronze is a metal alloy composed primarily of copper and tin. The Bronze Age in Ireland is often referred to as Ireland's "First Golden Age".
Settlers from France arrived in Ireland around 2000BC bringing their knowledge of bronze craftsmanship which was quickly adapted by the Native Irish to make a wide variety of bronze implements.
Prehistoric, celtic and megalithic art was used in the crafting of decorative items, particularly brooches.
Many of the most famous Bronze Age artefacts are housed at the National Museum of Ireland.
