Since the Viking period in Ireland, silver has been a most prized metal and a means of exchange.
The brand new Irish Silver Museum is home to the largest collection of Irish silver in the country. The museum offers visitors a journey through Irish history using beautiful, intimate and personal objects as a guide to the fascinating story of Ireland from the arrival of the Vikings to Ireland’s entry into the EEC in 1973.
