It shows all of the history of Ireland and especially Waterford. From vikings to Englishman. There are 2 and half a floor to see. And a shop at the end of tour. There are maps, books, 2 small cinemas. Swords, clothes, everyday stuff. Not that expensive too enter so i would say it's worth the visit.
There is a medieval wine vault, a room displays Waterford mayor's story. Two video rooms about the port city development and the competition against New Ross and the Christian significance back then. The most impressive is the government documentary book five hundreds years ago. The visiting route for me is a bit confusing though.
Very interesting place to visit in order to learn more about the fabulous history of Waterford. I highly recommend the visiting. Well worth.
Surely one of the best medieval museums in Ireland, not only because of the treasures and artworks shown, but mostly for its architecture mixing rests of the oldest buildings of Waterford with very modern structures. All rooms have a very well organised exhibition space; panels and founds guide the visitors through the history of the county. We really enjoyed the visit but this one of the most crowded sites we ever found during our tour in southern Ireland. Plan your visit in advance
This is a beautifully erected museum that pays homage to the incredible history of Waterford and Ireland as a whole. I started at the top and worked my way down. Each floor offers a different part of history, many, many, artifacts to experience. It was during this visit I realized I did not allow myself near enough time to take in all the amazing history this city has made available. It’s truly remarkable what they have created at the triangle. Inside the museum is a little gift store with books, souvenirs and such. They where out of my name 😖. Murphy’s law..
