Museums
TODO — what museums in Dublin are actually worth the time.
3 placesKildare Street
National Museum of Ireland — Archaeology
Free, and it holds the best prehistoric gold collection in western Europe plus four Iron Age bog bodies. The single most underrated building in Dublin.
Merrion Square
National Gallery of Ireland
Free, with a Caravaggio that spent decades hanging unrecognised in a Jesuit dining room a mile away, and the best Jack B. Yeats collection anywhere.
Custom House Quay
EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum
Ten million people left this island. This is the museum about where they went and what they did, in the vaults of a nineteenth-century dock warehouse.
