Irish Jewish MuseumThe Irish Jewish Museum (Irish: Músaem Giúdach na hÉireann) is a small museum located in the once highly Jewish populated area of Portobello, around the South Circular Road, Dublin 8 dedicated to the history of the Irish Jewish community.
The museum was opened in June 1985 by Chaim Herzog who was then president of Israel and was born in Ireland. |  |
National Print MuseumThe National Print Museum of Ireland is based in a soldiers' chapel in the Beggars Bush area of Dublin, Republic of Ireland. The idea for the museum arose in the mid-1980s, when the need to 'save' printing machinery from the 'hot metal' era of printing became apparent. In 1990, Bertie Ahern opened the museum's first premises in Lower Gardiner Street, Dublin. |  |
Pearse MuseumThe Pearse Museum (Irish: Músaem na bPiarsach) is dedicated to the memory of Patrick Pearse, educationalist and nationalist who was executed for his part in the 1916 Rising. It is situated in the suburb of Rathfarnham on the south side of Dublin, Ireland. It was formerly the home of Pearse's experimental school, St. |  |
James Joyce Tower MuseumThe James Joyce Tower was one of a series of Martello towers built to withstand an invasion by Napoleon and now holds a museum devoted to the life and works of James Joyce, who made the tower the setting for the first chapter of his masterpiece, Ulysses. Beautifully located eight miles south of Dublin on the coast road, this tower is the perfect setting for a museum dedicated to Joyce, a writer of international renown who remains, world-wide, the writer most associated with Dublin. . |  |
Dublin Writers MuseumDublin is famous as a city of writers and literature, and the Dublin Writers Museum is an essential visit for anyone who wants to discover, explore, or simply enjoy Dublin's immense literary heritage. At the Writers Museum, Dublin’s literary celebrities from the past three hundred years are brought to life through their books, letters, portraits and personal items. . |  |
Tara's Palace and Childhood MuseumTara's Palace is undoubtedly one of the world's most significant Dolls Houses.
Inspired by Sir Neville Wilkinson's celebrated Titania's Palace of 1907, Ron and Doreen McDonnell sought to recapture the spirit and purpose of Sir Neville, when they began the creation of their own masterpiece - Tara's Palace- in 1980.
Meticulously constructed, it has taken over a decade to complete and work is still ongoing. |  |
National Museum of Ireland - ArchaeologyWalk into the National Museum of Ireland on Kildare Street and you are magically transported back in time. A stroll through time will take you all the way back to 7,000BC. The Museum first opened its doors in 1890 and since then it has been filling in the blanks for us through its extensive archeological collections. |  |
National Museum of Ireland -Deco Arts & HistoryNational Museum of Ireland- Decorative Arts and History. Collins Barracks could be said to be the National Museum of Ireland's largest artefact, having had a unique history all of its own in another life.
It now completes the picture for the National Museum in Dublin and joins the two already famous buildings in the possession of the Museum. |  |
National Transport MuseumThe National Transport Museum was established by the Transport Museum Society of Ireland. This collection is Ireland’s only comprehensive assembly of public and commercial road transport.
Totally voluntary, the Society became a limited company in 1971 and is now a registered charity, operating to international museum standards. |  |
DUblin Civic MuseumThe Dublin Civic Museum is housed in a fine eighteenth century Georgian Building. The building was designed in 1765 to stage exhibitions for the Society of Artists in Ireland, and in 1791 was rented by Dublin City Council after which it became known as the City Assembly House. For over a period of fifty years it was in effect the Dublin City Hall, and the Long Gallery (currently occupied by the Dublin City Archives) was used by the Lord Mayor and the Board of Aldermen. |  |
National Museum of IrelandThe museum houses over 2,000,000 artefacts which range in date between 7000BC and the late medieval period. Exhibitions include the finest collection of prehistoric gold artefacts in western Europe, outstanding examples of metalwork from the Celtic Iron Age, as well as the Museum’s world-renowned collection of medieval ecclesiastical objects and jewellery. The Broighter Hoard,the Ardagh Chalice, the Tara Brooch and Derrynaflan Hoard are among the masterpieces on display. |  |
James Joyce Cultural CentreThe James Joyce Centre is dedicated to promoting an understanding of the life and works of James Joyce. In doing so, the Centre strives to be an integral contributor to the network of institutions which celebrate Ireland’s rich cultural heritage. The James Joyce Centre provides the casual visitor, student and scholar alike with a rewarding and memorable experience. |  |
National Maritime MuseumThe National Maritime Museum of Ireland is located in the former Mariners’ Church in Haigh Terrace, Dún Laoghaire. This historic Church was built in 1837. The Church was designed to meet the needs of the seafarers whose vessels sought shelter in the asylum harbour of Kingstown. |  |
Natural History MuseumThe Natural History museum has approximately 10,000 animals on display which have been drawn from collections of over 2,000,000 specimens. These collections have been accumulating for over two centuries. Today this zoological museum encompasses outstanding examples of wildlife from Ireland and the far corners of the globe, some still to be seen today and others long extinct. |  |
National Museum of Ireland - Natural HistoryThe Museum of Natural History will be closed to the public until further notice in order to carry out some refurbishments. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Just two years before Charles Darwin published his famous work, 'The Origin of Species', the Natural History Museum in Merrion Street was opened to the public for the first time in 1857. |  |
