What an amazing facility to have on our doorstep. It is free and it is open Tuesday to Friday. There are plenty of sanitation stations dotted around the whole museum. It has two floors; ground floor has an array of different exhibits from when Cork was established to present. It was interesting to see and read about Jewtown and to see all the different artifacts. On the first floor, there is an exhibit about the War of Independence and of Traveller culture. Would recommend for all the family to visit and enjoy seeing Corks past

Really nice trip here, spent about 40 minutes walking around the exhibits. Some lovely exhibits with interesting information, things I'd never seen in person/heard about before so definitely enjoyed my visit. However the lighting in sections was quite poor making it near impossible to read or clearly see. The two that come to mind most was the display of dresses etc (couldn't see the back ones properly at all) and the traveller exhibit which looked closed it was so dark! Such a shame as both displays were fascinating.

I voted 5 stars because the first of all is public for evryone, no fee of charge, very well maintained, clean public toilet. The museum have lots of history information and good illustration images. The museum was buit inside a tidy and clean public park. You can spend a whole day in here with your kids and learning something from historicalp, there also have modern structure corners. There was a kid playround and a st Bridget's bridge just at the corner. This place is must a visit place in Cork.

Excellent historical museum covering the various peoples who lived, traded with, influenced and/or pillaged the County and city of Cork, the Venice of the south. Top quality displays, strong themes curated well and fascinating artefacts make the Cork Public Museum a must-see for history, sociology or genealogy buffs.
