    A must

    I loved this little gem in the center of Dublin! The guided tour of the exhibition (as well as the one of the St. Stephen's green) was amusing and extremely useful in understanding Irish history and culture.

    Great tour, however the tourguide Fiona was rubbish. Nice rooms with lots of decorations. Not worth 10 euros but free if you get the Dublin bustour

    Quick and fun

    Great little museum with enthusiastic guides, plenty to see and opposite the St Stephen’s Green. I recommend the 11am tour which includes a guided tour of the green as well.

    U2 room was a highlight

    Great Tour

    This is really worth doing. It is quite short but hugely informative. Our guide Jesse really hit the right combination of information, whimsy and humour. There is a lot to see in this little museum and the tour gives a good narrative to the visit

    The tour lasts about 45 minutes however would allow a further 30 minutes to look round the other rooms. Hope you enjoy 😊

    Hi Angela Regarding your response to my review - I'm delighted to hear that there is a Women's History tour of the museum and I look forward to taking it. I don't agree with your characterisation of my review as pointed, as I believe my observations were made fairly and in good faith. Perhaps if elements of the women's history were incorporated into the main tour, it would have changed my description of it as not giving due representation to the contribution of one half of the population in our people's history. Regarding your point about the 'reality' of history being safely described as male dominated - while I don't disagree, given that it reflects a patriarchal power structure, I do believe this places all the more onus on those curating it to bring to bear those elements that exist of women's role and experience, in literature, politics, and indeed domestic life and the life of family, which is equally 'real' history. My point about the tale of the 'contraceptive train' is not that it wasn't represented - I saw what it was - but that it would make an interesting part of the tour narrative.
