This museum is totally worth a visit. They have bodies on display that they pulled from a bog that are still intact! I won't give any more info because you just have to see for yourself but I was so happy with my visit. One bad side note! Unfortunately I bought the audio guide (€2) thinking it would be for...

On Dublin visits, I always make a visit to the Treasury at this branch of the National Museum of Ireland. It features displays of classic artifacts from medieval Ireland with helpful explanations of stylistic influences and contexts. A couple of chapters of /How the Irish Saved Civilization/ almost seemed to have been written there with their references to the Ardagh...

Free, centrally located, and interesting. A huge collection of gold artifacts, the amazing bog bodies, and a small but exceptional Egyptian exhibit.

We had a wonderful time exploring this great museum!! For me, I particularly enjoyed the Celtic metalwork on display like the Tara Brooch. It's amazing how much detail was put into these pieces.

Ireland's National Museum of Archaelogy is a great stop among the highlights in Dublin. Between checking out the exhibits of gleaming Celtic gold and other treasures, be sure to enjoy the building itself...mosaic floors, tiled doorways, arches and vaulted ceilings, it is amazing!
Be sure to see the exhibit on the Fadden More Psalter, an eighth century book of psalms...

All the National Museums are free to enter. I particularly wanted to see the Irish bog bodies and I was not disappointed. Well worth the visit.
