Located in the trendy Docklands district, the museum guides you on a journey through more than 20 interactive galleries, where history comes to life through light, sound, projections, touch screens and real-life testimonies.

    The staff was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was calm. Only that going in right at closing time reduces the experience.

    Good addition to Dublin if you've already seen the usual. It took us a good part of the afternoon.
