Hunt museum cafe in Limerick

Interesting exhibits ...bit limited but passes an hour maybe..nice cafe ...bug exhibit was good

Lovely place to visit. Used to be the cities custom house. Today, it houses some of the finest artefacts and artworks in Ireland. It's definitely worth a visit when you come to Limerick.

The museum itself is very interesting and the guide there was full of information. HOWEVER, we went specifically for the Creepy Crawlie exhibition and this was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. There were no real bugs except for some earthworms and a tiny aquarium, outside with no signage, no info. Inside was decent, but nothing amazing. It was very disappointing. There were some interesting bee facts, but not enough to make it worth while.

Good for a rainy day in Limerick. The Hunt Permanent Collection is a significant collection of approximately 2,500 original works of art and antiques. It is a private collection of John and Gertrude Hunt. Admission 12.00 euros adults

Very interactive and a very interesting backstory.

I wasn't offered enough for entry

An incredibly extensive and multi-faceted collection. The Hunt couple were very meticulous and artistically interested. It would probably take days to do everything alone. A free tour offers a good first impression!

Celebrated my friends wedding ceremony here. Was a beautiful venue

Very nice café and gift shop. There are a lot of interesting artefacts, but there is no real coherent theme to all of this. The artefacts span from the stone age to modern times, and although the curators attempt to bring some order into the many times, styles, types, and history of the artefacts, it seems like a rather superfluous attempt. The special exhibition "Creepy Crawlies" is clearly geared towards young children, with just three cabinets of dead butterflies, moths and bugs, and some displays explaining the role of insects in nature.

The Museun was very good but the creepy crawly exhibition was poor. My daughter was very disappointed with it.
