Cavan County Museum, County Cavan, Ireland

4.5 (255 reviews) Thursday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Cavan Speciality Museums

Exceeded expectations

Was not sure what to expect but expectation were exceeded. Housed in a former monastery I believe, the museum is spread out over 3 floors. The exhibits cover a variety of topics and details how Cavan individuals were involved / affected etc. Outside the main building is a mock GPO building that details the 1916 Rising. There is also a WW1 trench. However, due to really bad weather this was shut the day I visited. There also looked to be a small playpark for kids. Admission is only €6 for adult and is worth a couple of hours if in area.

    Hidden gem of History.. Fun and Delightful Family afternoon find
    What a find on a gorgeous day, our 10 year loves history and we found this off the beaten tracks.. honestly the reviews don’t give this justice.. the 3 floors are filled with interesting facts and features and the gardens a delight but the highlight which is a must for anyone interested in world war 1 is the outdoor replica trenches.. the peace garden is heavenly and the history especially around the 1916 rising is outstanding. credit where it’s due this was an amazing afternoon and would highly recommend any schools to drop by

    Thought Provoking
    Really enjoyed this fascinating small museum. The outdoor exhibit of world war 1 trenches and the Easter rising was excellent. I particularly liked the reflective space. indoors the vinaigrettes of individual stories of emigration over the years was very well done Good value for money
