We visited this during e day. As part of the hop on hop off your you get free entry so make sure you tell them you've come off the bus. We took the tour, which was vet informative. The staff have an excellent amount of knowledge about Dublin and Irish history.

Time your visit well - the tour is not to be missed! A way of learning about the history of Dublin in an entertaining way.

I attended this tour and it was very interesting. It is quite a gem with various items relating to twentieth century Ireland covering the walls of the beautiful Georgian house . I think the museum is suitable for all ages. We had a tour which was very quick, about 20 minutes, but our tour guide did point out things that we would have missed. There is also a U2 room upstairs if you are a fan. I would highly recommend visiting this museum and would squeeze it into your itinerary.

Really liked this museum. Our guide was terrific. Over the course of just under an hour, he took us through a history of Dublin using what - at first - seemed to be a random clutter of objects in two rooms of a large Edwardian house. Brilliant storytelling and some good (and bad!) jokes. I was particularly struck by how friendly all of the staff were, from reception onwards. They clearly love their subject and are interested in their visitors. We had a few minutes to wait before our tour and one came up to explain a couple of the objects that had drawn our attention. Might have seemed intrusive had he not been so genuine and enthusiastic. If you take the tour, you are free to wander in the museum yourself afterwards. I cannot recommend highly enough.

We went on the Green Hop on and Hop off bus and this was included. It was very charming and fun. The tour was guided, but we were late the to tour and decided to just self guide. I would recommend since the tour was a tight fit. I especially loved the U2 exhibit.

Arrived at the museum just in time for the short tour which was very informative but not too lengthy! Very enjoyable and interesting look at Irish history, worth a visit some great pictures and quirky memorabilia. Definitely worth a visit if you are a U2 fan.

We are delighted you enjoyed your visit to the LMoD. You are absolutely right, taking the tour changes the way you view the museum, it pulls it altogether. Thanks for your lovely comments about our great staff. We appreciate your tremendous review and recommendation.

What a great review. You are sooo right. We may be a little museum but every effort goes into making the visitors' experience a HUGE one! Ciaran is a great guide, entertaining and informative, an unbeatable combination. Hatch & Sons, the cafe down below, is just the best and as for the Waterford Blaa with bacon, unbeatable! Thanks for reviewing us so generously and come back and see us again as our exhibits do change.

We are delighted you weren't disappointed! Well done and hanging out for the guided tour. It really does make sense of our artefacts, all of which were donated by the good people of Dublin. Our WW1 exhibition is a special one telling the story, as it does, of the Guinness brewery employees and the Great European War.

Can't Dublin Bus spot a winner!! The bus ticket is one of the ways our visitors find us and they often arrive with no idea what they are about to experience and blown away is what they are. Adam is a fantastic guide, with a wealth of information and a wicked sense of humour. Thanks for the lovely review and recommendation.
