Brilliant Little Museum in Dublin - Must See We just came out of The Moving Crib Museum. It was brilliant - a mixture of History & Fun. We stayed for over an hour. Our kids were thrilled with the Train and all the moving things. They dressed up as friars and even left a coloured-in leaf for posterity. We loved being able to read a Newspaper from 1916 and to see all the weird and wonderful stuff they have on display. Highly recommend when in Dublin Entry was around €12 with a discount for kids. Its great value.
