County Museum Dundalk — Attraction in The Municipal District of Dundalk

We travelled from Belfast to visit this museum yesterday. On the ground floor are more recent artefacts and information, including a "bubble car" and information about the railway in Dundalk, which was of interest to me as family members had worked in the GNR works in Dundalk. There are three floors in the museum, the top floor is devoted to prehistoric times, so I would recommend starting there. The museum closes for lunch between 1pm and 2pm.

They also have restrooms available and have creative sections for kids to enjoy. This is such a well organised museum that is suitable for anyone visiting this place. Bear in mind one thing that they are closed for lunch between 1-2, when you...
