Reviews
"Free museum! Wow! Need I say more? If I do: it has a small but thorough collection relating to Limerick. This is great place to learn a little more about the city. It has a Limerick lace collection as well as silver and a few other pieces. Worth a stop - 20-30 minutes."
"Fascinating, small museum providing a broad historical overview of Limerick. Learnt a lot here about the famous lace industry and silverware. Fully wheelchair accessible and admission is free."
"Free entry, and in my mind, that's just as well. An eclectic collection with information and displays about the city's past. Not extensive, a little of lots of things, and little in depth, I thought. Won't take long to pass through if you have some time to kill."
"Brilliant place to visit. Beautiful rooms restored to the original look. Servants rooms and kitchen. All as they were. Loads of antiques mixed in with ever hanging artwork or interesting displays. Well worth a visit"
