Designed and Developed by Roomthree.com Visitor Centre information Brú na Bóinne Visitor centre is situated on the south side of the River Boyne overlooking the core of the World Heritage Site. It opened in 1997. Exhibitions The Centre contains exhibitions that describe the society that created the Neolithic tombs, their homes, dress, food, tools and weapons. Great emphasis is placed throughout the Exhibition on the building of the monuments; why they were built: how they were used; where the building stones were found and how these were moved to the site. The audio—visual show deals primarily with the solar alignments in the Boyne Valley. The extensive exhibition also contains a partial full-scale replica of the chamber at Newgrange as well as a replica of one of the smaller sites at Knowth.
