National Museum Cafe in Dublin

The National Museum of Ireland on Kildare Street is a must-see for anyone interested in history. The prehistoric gold collection is breathtaking, and seeing the bog bodies up close is an incredible, albeit slightly eerie, experience. The building itself is a Victorian masterpiece, and since admission is free, it’s an easy addition to any Dublin itinerary. It's well-organized and perfect for a quiet hour or two of exploring Ireland's ancient past.

It's one of the few free museums in Dublin, with many pieces from the protohistoric period. A more didactic explanation of the collections would be welcome. There are some particularly interesting pieces, such as two Iron Age "mummies"—corpses preserved thanks to their location in oxygen-deprived marshy areas. There are also many Celtic artifacts, a significant collection of goldwork, and Viking artifacts.

Amazing gems from ancient times. Must see!! And free entry

Fantastic collection, and it's free!

Very rich and evocative. The palace is also worth a visit.

Wonderful visit & ever changing exhibits.. Lived the new Glendalough room.

It is a wonderful place to learn about Ireland.

A great many old objects, a remarkable amount of gold. Also interesting Viking artifacts. The museum is free.

It's okay, nothing special. Small, but if you have some time, it's fine. It's near the park with the Oscar Wilde statue.

A great way to spend a grey January afternoon. It was a mesmerising experience. So many historic exhibits to explore and get to know our ancient past history. The front of house dest were more than helpful with any queries I had. And guides were always on hand to guide me in the right direction when I wasn't sure of my surroundings. Also, a guide provided me with a chair, she was observant and realised i needed to rest a while. I had an enquiry, and the assistant keeper took time to try and locate the possible location of the items. Its a vast area to cover in a few hours. My next visit, I will dress lighter, as it gets warm while constantly moving. The only way to enjoy is to actually visit. I promise, its worth a few visits. Lest we forgot our past. Keep up the excellent work. Thank you for a very pleasant experience 😊
