Free entry to a lovely little museum (self guided no headsets etc) which can be nice when with kids as they tend to rush through. Lots of Local history & examples of local excavated artefacts. If travelling by car street parking is available. It was our first time parking in cork and we didn’t want to put €10 credit on the app to park for an hour or so… we called Cork city park by phone customer service were not only unhelpful but also totally rude. Said there were no shops near by that sell permits but the The natural foods bakery around the back of the museum sells parking permits also had nice coffee and treats after the museum and park with the kids. Well worth a visit...

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.
