Incidentally it would not be suited as an aviation museum, – which needs big internal spaces and wide access to display aircraft, which ought to be the key element in any such museum. If you want to have a look at what makes a good display facility for aviation, have a look at the award winning superhangar at Duxford (UK) or the Kermit Weeks Fantasy of Flight complex in Florida.

atThere is a fairly long list of events, lectures, walking tours etc available from the RIAI. I have a one page handout from them.
They say that they have a page on the web at http://WWW.riai.ie with info about World Archers (sorry Architecture)Day.
