Hunt museum cafe in Limerick

We loved the small, eclectic collection of the Hunt Museum, from the rather surprising silver death mask of James Joyce to the Egyptian statue of the god Thoth as a baboon and the late medieval Italian majolica devotional panel. The brightly painted horse sculptures outside the museum entrance, painted by local youth artists, are an especially wonderful feature of this cozy little museum.

Museum to visit if you go to Limerick

We got there just before closing and because there were few visitors, we had our own tour guide highlighting the best of what the museum had to offer. Eclectic on every level and we loved it!

Great. Very friendly place. The shop is well-stocked, with plenty of souvenirs to choose from.

A lovely way to pass an hour or two. Went specifically to see richard Harris exhibition.. great 👍

A very nice small museum. It doesn't take long to go through but the collection is very interesting and impressive.

Lovely staff very interesting exhibition and Lovely cafe

This isn't a national museum, so there's a €12.50 admission fee per person. It's worth it: you'll be amazed and discover a multitude of curiosities. Beautiful objects, jewelry, paintings... Don't hesitate to open the drawers to discover hidden treasures. From Egypt to the present day, including the Celts and Greco-Romans, with a fascinating section on religious objects. You can then visit the gift shop to find an original gift. Other highlights: the welcome is very warm and you'll benefit from documentation allowing you to take the tour in your own language.

This museum is very comprehensive and varied, with an incredible collection donated mostly by the Hunt family. It's a rich tour of history in general and that of parts of Ireland. We were also able to tour the beautiful exhibition about the great Irish actor, musician, athlete, etc., Richard Harris. It was a lovely surprise. Don't miss this museum.

Very nice museum, good curating of a wide range of items. Lots of pottery, spears, Christianity relics. Some nice artwork, both old and recent, and a nice little gift shop. The receptionist was lovely to deal with, and really helped with explaining the routes and specific exhibits.
