Collins Barracks could be said to be the National Museum of Ireland’s largest Irish artefact, having had a unique history all its own in another life.

On display, you will find fine examples of silver, ceramics, glassware, weaponry, furniture, Folklife, clothing, jewellery, coins and medals. All of these displayed with imagination in innovative and contemporary galleries, which entice you to go further, look harder and examine more closely.
