Overview
Step back in time, way back to 7000 BC where you’ll see fine examples of Celtic and Medieval art, from the Ardagh Chalice, the Tara Brooch and the Derrynaflan Hoard. These exquisitely curated collections are a must-see for anyone interested in history and the evolution of man and society from as far back as the Viking age.
When you walk into the National Museum of Ireland, on Kildare street in Dublin, you get transported to a time in the past. You're immediately surrounded by Ireland's rich history, from ancient gold artifacts to Viking weapons. The museum's Gold Room is a real sight to see. It's holds the largest collection of prehistoric gold objects in Europe. You'll be surpised at the level of detail seen in the shiny treasures.
Ever wonder what life was like for the first people who lived in Ireland? The museum's Stone Age exhibit is a perfect representation of that time. You'll see tools made from flint and ancient pottery. Don't miss out on this experience with the Go City Dublin Pass.
The museum is free to enter, but make sure to show your pass to staff so you can receive a free guidebook!
