When you visit Cork you need to try this as it's a fabulous day out for all the family. Very interesting to learn about everything that has happened in a gone by era

One visit here is enough, the staff were not that friendly and lacked local knowledge, the artefacts are minimal and the building is very tired, it is an old presbyterian church, that needs some love.

This is a small museum in an old Presbyterian Church. The exhibition is well laid out and very informative. The €3 entrance fee is definitely not excessive and I would say is very good value.

This was the only museum in Cobh before the new one opened on the old railway station but as it is volunteer run things are not up to date.

Short walk from the Heritage Center so it's worth checking out if it's your first time in Cobh. It's a small place but it could take a hour to see all that's on display. Gives you a good feel for the town's history. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Set up in the old Scots church the Cobh museum is not large, but is packed full of interesting artefacts about the town, in particular the two major events linked to the town, the visit of the Titanic in 1912 and the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915. Don't miss the chance to look at some of the Lusitania survivors... More

Fabalour artifacts from Cobh's hostory - spend an hour or two here meandering through the historical gems. Small but so worthwhile - and it's not just for Titanic stories, even though these are excellent and very personalised.

The museum at Cobh was very touching. You could almost feel the fear of those waiting to go to America. Also the horror they must have felt on the ships with the terrible storms.Also the figures in the hotel waiting to hear about their loved ones who may have been lost on the Lusitania.The whole exhibit touched me deeply.
