Nicely displayed museum. There's 2 floors plus underground floor. You can see Waterfords history from Viking age all the way to the present.

Very nice museum. Very helpful and friendly staff. Great tour. We found out so much about history of Waterford. Can buy individual passes to different museums next door or can get one general pass. It worth to get general pass and visit time and silver museum too.

This museum has a fantastic mix of see, do and read. Too much reading in a museum is why people dislike them so much. This place had a wonderful array of artifacts. Staff were friendly and helpful. You really feel like you are stepping back in time as you enter. Get the Freedom pass as it is the best value.

I would say this museum would be the highlight of any trip to Waterford. Get a sense of the Viking and Medieval era of waterford. 3 things to see here. First is the underground chambers to see how the buildings are constructed in the Medieval times. Second is to see the Charter Roll, where successive lines of kings gave the charter to Waterford as a Royal Port. Finally, the most impressive are the golden robes worn by priests, dating from 1400's. The story of how they are hidden for more than 100 years years, and later found is exhilarating

This is one of many attractions to enjoy during a visit of the Viking Triangle, however, this museum is definitely at the top of the list. We joined a tour with our guide jamie, which made it absolutely fascinating, he was fun and professional, highlights included - the Great Charter Roll of Waterford, created in 1373. A ceremonial sword and two maces gifted to the city by King Edward IV in 1462, in the basement is the thirteenth century Choristers’ Hall and the fifteenth century Mayor’s Wine Vault. After a wonderful tour with Jamie we spent another hour exploring, the displays further. All in all a wonderful experience.
