Author of “Angela’s Ashes”, which recounts his miserable childhood on the streets of Limerick, Frank McCourt was a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer…
This museum, housed in a former school, invites you to discover the life of this famous Irishman, through a complete exhibition… The program includes everyday objects that once belonged to him, testimonials, photos and excerpts from his best works… You can even discover his old bed, where he slept with his siblings during his years of poverty.
