The Little Museum of Dublin

The Little Museum of Dublin tells the story of Ireland’s capital city in the 20th Century.

This new non-profit museum was formally opened by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Andrew Montague, in October 2011. The collection boasts over 5000 artefacts, reflecting the generosity of ordinary Dubliners, as well as many cultural institutions and local luminaries.

The social, cultural and political history of Dublin is chronicled in the Little Museum. There are simple artefacts that encourage contemplation of the past, alongside items related to famous visitors such as President John F Kennedy, Marlene Dietrich and Muhammad Ali.

The museum occupies the first floor of a fine Georgian townhouse, 15 St Stephen's Green, near the corner of Dawson Street.

We are open at the following times:

Friday to Wednesday: 9am - 5pm
Late opening Thursday until 8pm

Admission to the museum is by guided tour with our exceptional tour guides, each one a gem in and of themselves!

Our goal is not to sell an ideology but simply to remember the past. We look forward to welcoming you to the museum.
