When you go the Little Museum of Dublin, as you should, you’ll book a tour time for the main rooms–give yourself some time before or after to explore the other rooms, though.
The Little Museum, situated in a Georgian house, has over 5000 artifacts of city life donated to the museum by Dubliners. The 30-minute tour gives visitors an overview of some of the more important ones, tied to important incidents in Dublin’s history. The other artifacts are stacked around the museum, so peek into every case and every corner.
A few of the rooms are themed–there’s a U2 room, an Irish Times room, and a room devoted to Alfie Bryne, Lord Mayor and Shaking Hand of Dublin.
One of the famous pieces of art at the museum.I got to go into this room at Trinity College!All I could think about was Jenny Lawson when I came into this room. She would have a great name for that fox, like Victor/Volpina.In the U2 room.I love this movie poster.If she’s desired by men and women, why is she sad?Alfie at the window.Alfie, what are we looking at?Oh, Alfie! Of course you can go play in the park!If you go sit on the seats from the old theatre in the corner of Alfie’s room, you can see his membership card.Not sure who this guy is.I don’t think she likes having to stand beside him.Is it just me, or does this look a little like Voldemort’s death mask?If I had needed a hug, I would have gotten it from Alfie!
