Overview

Located opposite the leafy Stephen's Green in the beating heart of Dublin, the Little Museum of Dublin is a bite-size treasure trove of local history that brings the Fair City's long and storied past to life. Discover a thousand years of history with a friendly, extroverted guide who'll show you around this gorgeous Georgian townhouse museum.

Combining wit, charm, and an unrivalled passion for their city, the staff at the Little Museum of Dublin are half the reason it was voted 'best museum experience in Ireland' by the Irish Times. The other half is down to the 5,000 or so authentic artefacts in its collection, donated by the good folk of Dublin.
