A must see in Dublin, no matter what your background, be it local or foreign. Here is the history of Ireland. It is free, so no excuses, immerse yourself in religion, literature, mysterious mythology and extraordinary history.

The museum isn't huge, but it's wonderful. Every corner is very interesting. I also liked it because I found sections dedicated to places I visited during my Irish tour. It's worth a visit.

A truly beautiful and well-kept museum, truly interesting! Admission is free, but the visit is so enjoyable that a donation is more than welcome.

A museum well worth visiting.
The museum is free, and you don't need a free ticket; you just walk right in.
In addition to historical facts and artifacts from Ireland (from various periods, such as the Bronze Age and others), there are also some things about Egypt and the Vikings in Ireland.
It consists of two floors with several rooms. In one of them, there are even, so-called, mummified corpses (I don't know if they're actually mummified, but they look very similar). They're behind walls that you have to enter, and I understand that the corpses thing might not be suitable for everyone.
The visit can be very long, and that's because it's very comprehensive.
Except in one of the rooms (where you can't), you can take photos without flash. It's a shame that some people ignore the rules (the rules are in place to prevent damage to what's on display).
And in the shop, if you look carefully, you can get things at good prices. I bought two postcards, and two books, one about the history of Ireland, and another about traditional fairy tales.

Amazing that all public museums are free in Ireland. That's something they kept from the UK.

One of the Biggest Museums in Dublin. It you need to spend couple of hours going deep into Archaeology in Ireland, this is one of the best places to Visit. The place is also very nearby to trinity College and city centre. Have 2 floors full of things to explore. Have restrooms if your looking for. And best part is It's Free of charge for the museum.
