The Best Dublin Museums

The Best Dublin Museums
Dublin Museums

Dublin was founded in 988. Has seen Viking invasions, British occupations, rebellions, famines, emigration, sports. And we have museums for all of them

Here are my reviews of the best of these museums. I personally visited them and took all these photos. Accurate information by a Dublin local.

I give each museum a score out of 10.
