The Irish National Leprechaun Museum is located in Dublin city center, and caters for young and old alike. Colorful, magical and 100% interactive, it invites visitors to slip into the skin of a Leprechaun as soon as they enter. As soon as you enter, you’re plunged into a world of gigantic, disproportionate furniture.

Visitors are thus “miniaturized”, becoming themselves the creatures of Irish myths and tales. It’s a fun concept that’s sure to delight both children and adults who love tales and legends!

Throughout the tour, you’ll discover the legend of the Leprechaun, its myth and origins. All without caricature or stereotypes. You’ll gradually be guided to the Leprechaun’s cauldron of gold, hidden at the foot of a rainbow, as legend has it…

For young and old alike, the tour is an invitation to dream and travel. The museum is designed to be fun and to reconnect with the history of the Leprechaun, a legend that is sometimes overlooked, even though the first traces describing this little leprechaun date back to the 8th century…
