A country rich in ancient history, Ireland is truly rich with museums in its modern-day. Here are the top spots to visit on your next vacation or this summer on staycation.
Editor s Note: Each year since 1977, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) has organized International Museum Day to raise awareness about the fact that, “Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.”
From a small museum that showcases every aspect of Michael Collins’ life to archaeology and Vikings to 18th-century farming knick-knacks and GAA. Here is a list of ten museums you must visit in Ireland, each intriguing for all ages.
The Delights Of Dublin
Today is St Patrick’s Day. The celebrations are a little muted this year, because of the pandemic. Even so, a trip to Dublin is always a pleasure, and here’s one we published earlier, from Gilly Pickup.
Gilly’s feature first appeared in “The People’s Friend” Special No. 160 and gives a wonderful flavour of the cultural highlights of that fair city.
I’m standing in a room in Dublin crammed with old posters, faded photos, artefacts and exhibits. In one corner, a cabinet showcases 1940s food in its original packaging, in another is an old-fashioned record player. In the middle stands a lectern used by JFK on his visit to Ireland in 1963. A typewriter sits on a desk near the door. Maeve Binchy’s, no less. Meanwhile, an entire room on the second floor is devoted to the history of local boys U2. This happy collection of knick-knacks, as eclectic as it gets, is

It s not what you d expect to find at the tip of the Beara Peninsula - a cable car to Dursey Island. The tide is too strong at Dursey Sound for boats, hence the unusual method of getting across. The journey takes about 10 minutes, and once you set foot on the island, just enjoy the walks and views. Although people do live on Dursey, there are no hotels or B&Bs to stay overnight (there aren t any shops or restaurants either, so make sure to bring food)

While you re at it: Also on Beara, visit Garnish Island for its Italian Gardens. Boats are available from Glengarriff.
