    You can learn a lot about Dublin by wandering around its Georgian squares and drifting through its bustling streets, but if you really want to understand the city – head to the Little Museum of Dublin.

    Set within a beautiful 18th century townhouse overlooking leafy St Stephen’s Green in the heart of the city, the Little Museum of Dublin is a thrilling delve into the life of the ordinary Dubliner. Designed to tell the story of the city through the objects donated by members of the public, the museum houses over 5,000 objects that reflect the history of Dublin.

    The creaky floorboards, huge windows and elegant plasterwork provide a beautiful backdrop in which to browse picture-lined walls and artefact-stuffed cases of Dublin insight and intrigue. U2 fans will delight in an exhibition dedicated to Ireland’s greatest rock band, with photographs, memorabilia and a narrated soundtrack telling the story of the band.
