Yes Yes and Yes again. If in Limerick this museum is well worth a visit. Also superb coffee shop. Just the spot to sit and think and reflect.. ( sounds very philosophical ) , but you know what I mean
Brilliant. This museum is a cornucopia of treasures. Well worth visiting. The exhibition in the basement changes every few months and is always worth seeing. The museum is free on Sundays and has a 2 for the price of 1 admission offer on Mondays.
Been here a few times for college and exhibits over the years. A great exhibition and very helpful, knowledgeable nice staff. Well worth a visit. The canteen is a bit pricy though but that's most tourist spots for you.
The old collections are a sad place if you expect museum level - with dates, with information about location of the find and context.
You will find a lot of objects without period, location, context. I understand, that this is what you can expect from antiquarians and their collections. But it was a really sad place for us. Last nail in the coffin for us were photos of Gertrude Hunt wearing some beautiful artifacts and seeing those artifacts, poorly documented, on display.
Old collections in two words: anger and disappointment.
Must see when in Limerick. Great museum with very nice restaurant. Exhibition of Yeats and Henry was truly excellent. Great value.
Beautiful space. Was here for the Yeats/Butler exhibition with my seven year old daughter. The guide made the works accessible to her as well as to myself and other visitors. To rob a phrase from WB, 'Beautiful lofty things' in a warm environment.
Lovely little museum, amazing cafe attached with reasonable pricing. If you get the chance, on a nice day go to the outdoor seating! It has an amazing view of the river and a lovely little lawn usually full of people.
Greatly enjoyed the Yeats /Henry exhibition. Very uncrowded compared with London; time and space to see the pictures. Staff lent us an exhibition catalogue which is well worth buying.
Spent ages in here on a tour one time. Plenty of historical artefacts
Love it the artifacts are very well preserved and the info below is very informative
Really excellent collection of antiques/artefacts. There are things spanning from Bronze age to the 19th century. Some sketches and paintings from well known artists such as Picasso are presented along side really excellent art work from the students of the local art college. Well worth a visit.
Nice place! Too many things about stone age and iron, Irish and German history also.
The Hunt Museum collects, exhibits, preserves, documents, and promotes the Hunt Collection, and its own collections, to maximise their cultural and educational potential for the people of Limerick and Ireland.
