Hunt museum cafe in Limerick

Interesting museum with a diverse collection. I really enjoyed the special exhibit of Japanese prints. Was pleasantly surprised to find admission was half price when I went on Valentine's Day.

The best museum in limerick staff are very helpful and friendly and kind especially Carlos and Matt i highly recommend you to visit 🇮🇪♥️🇮🇪♥️🇮🇪♥️🇮🇪♥️🇮🇪♥️🇮🇪♥️

Fascinating collection of ancient Irish and European art objects, beautifully displayed in cabinets and drawers. Small but packed with interest museum. Very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Great museum and all the staff are informative and very friendly. Would definitely recommend anyone visiting Limerick to pay a visit

Interesting, however I'd love the option of a curator tour of, for example a number of the most interesting pieces, which could change frequently. (This is offered in the Crawford gallery in Cork, and is a lovely option) Many of the exhibits have good descriptive labels but equally many do not which is a pity. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Cafe currently closed for renovations. The shop looks interesting but we didn't have time to browse

A small but very interesting museum in Limerick. It only took us about 2 hours to go through the entire collection in a non rushed manner. The collection is very eclectic but does focus on Ireland and the history of Ireland which I found very interesting.

Attended the current Exhibition "Japan and Irish Printmakers" officially opened by the Japanese Ambassador
