Louth County Museum, Province of Leinster, Ireland

4.5 (31 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #7 in County Louth Speciality Museums

Very helpful curator, beautiful building

I would highly recommend a visit to Dundalk Museum to locals and visitors alike. The downstairs floor gives a strong presentation of equipment that would have been in use in the industries that thrived in the town over the last 200 years, all in pristine condition. The curator, Brian Walsh, very kindly provided a mini-info session on the Trench Art on the second floor. Our out of towners, from Vietnam, were very moved to see the reference to the Vietnam War on the wall which puts Dundalk's history in a global context. This museum is a real asset to the town; very well done to all who run it so well and who care about the artefacts with such pride.

    Greeted by a wonderful staff member, thank you!
    I've been meaning to share this for weeks, but time has flown... We stopped into the museum for a flying visit on a long journey from Belfast to Galway. To be honest it was mainly a break for the kids, a bathroom break, a look at the bubble car, a quick walk around, and yet we were greeted so warmly by the lady on reception, who was so kind with the children and generous with her attention. I wish I knew her name, she deserves a raise. What could have been a one off flying visit has become a lasting happy memory for them, and they want to go back and take a proper look at all the varied and wonderful artifacts crammed into this place, and so despite living in Belfast we will find the time to do just that!

    Interesting Museum with no entrance fee
    We really enjoyed our visit here. The museum is split over 3 floors in the old fire house. There is a lift, so fully accessible. Kids enjoyed it also with lots to look at. Recommend calling in if in the area
