Brilliant museum with exhibitions from all of Ireland's major time periods. It starts you chronologically beginning with prehistoric ireland before taking you into the viking era and middle ages. The most famous exhibit here is the bog boddies which are located in the "kingship and sacrifice" section off to the left.
This is a great Irish Museum. There are lots of Irish artefacts. It's got lots of interesting info on our Irish History. It's a great place to visit. On display is the Ardagh Chalice and The Tara Brooch. There is also lots to see from The Viking Era. They also have great Viking artefacts too. It's a great way to spend a day!
The National Museum on Kildare Street is a treasure. It's architecture mirrors that of the beautiful National Library right across the way, though inside, the two are very different. I loved the well-done Yeats exhibit with a video screen offering constantly shifting images as various voices read Yeats poems, and with an abundance of informative exhibits about Yeats' life and importance. The exhibit of beautiful manuscripts on loan from St. Gallen in Switzerland was also absolutely wonderful. In addition to having a chance to see a number of manuscripts written and illustrated by Irish monks as they evangelized the German-speaking lands, I loved seeing the artwork produced by Irish students inspired by these manuscripts. In an only-in-Ireland experience, too, one of the guards came up and talked to me and my companion about those manuscripts, giving us a detailed and impressive account of what they were about, the history they represented, and so on.
It was my second time visiting the National Museum and I still haven't been able to see all of it properly. It's a impressively dense museum with A LOT of great historical treasures. The viking section is mind blowing. The bog bodies are definitely the protagonists, spend at least an hour reading about this remarkable act of archeology and anthropology. The visit is free, which makes it even better. The architecture of the place is astonishing. The bathrooms were very clean.
Free entry. Beautiful building. Gorgeous museum with historical items dating 1000s of years old. The architecture of the museum itself is worth a visit. It was very busy on Sunday so I'd recommend a weekday visit. Still, it wasn't too much bother with all the people either. No waiting to get in.
