Beautiful pieces. Interesting regarding Irish history, even if it's not very in-depth.

Wonderful museum! A particular delight for visiting archaeologists. Would encourage everyone to visit this gem to get an overview of how Ireland was settled from prehistory. Much to see and its free!

Came to see the Bog people and enjoyed the entire museum! Had a wonderful exhibit on the Egyptian dynasty and Vikings in another exhibit. But the big one was the Bog people. What great preservation with the ones we saw. I highly recommend visiting and experiencing the whole museum. And do t forget to visit the gift shop...they have some wonderful jewelry and things to make you spend some money!

Beautiful free museum. Well worth visiting. We only had an hour. Far to short to see everything.

Came in for an hour, stayed for three. It's free, and inside there are things other countries would charge you for.
The Bronze Age gold collection got me the most — those collars and torcs look like someone made them last week, and they're three thousand years old. And there's a small bronze bell from 10th-century Armagh with an inscription scratched into it: "a prayer for Cumascach, son of Ailill." You stand there and realise someone a thousand years ago simply asked to be remembered. And here we are, remembering.
The building itself is worth a look too — the mosaic floor and the domed rotunda.
Give yourself at least two hours and don't try to see everything in one go. I'll definitely be back.

What a place! Words cannot describe it, something beautiful, amazing, interesting, educational. So much to see and read. Definitely set aside at least 2 hours for the museum because it is impossible to see everything in less than that, especially on weekends. Admission is free. Kudos to the Irish!

I could spend hours here. Free to enter, and Incredibly interesting with multiple floors of exhibits. I wish I had more time to stay so plan to spend many hours here.

Impressive museum full of archeological wonders! When I visited, they had an incredible exhibition about offerings left in bogs by ancient peoples: from weapons, to clothing, to (*gulp*) human sacrifices. That was just one of many interesting pieces of history here at Kildare Street.
