Visit the County Clare Museum

An immersive exhibition of Irish history and culture

From early man, to the Viking Invasions, the Middle Ages and the history of the Irish peasantry, the County Clare Museum offers a comprehensive overview of the local Irish heritage.

In a warm, modern setting, you’ll be able to admire period objects, with full explanatory panels and role-playing. A fascinating museum that sheds light on County Clare and how it came to be the way it is today.

The visit is quite interesting and the exhibition well organized. Over 2,500 objects are on display, many on generous loan from the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin. The collection is varied, and of interest if you like to understand what Irish lifestyles were like through the ages.
