Galway City Museum

"Location is great and your excursion will end on the top floor witg a splendid view on the bay. I did not see plenty of objects, but they are all well presented and accompanied with detailed description. Kids loved the imitation of submarine and a "scull in the box" which is a reliquary of st.Ursula"

"Quaint museum with a few exhibitions going. Keep an eye out on the website for information about what is on show. Wouldn't suggest you make it the main attraction for the day, as one can finish the entire museum within an hour easily. It's not a big packed museum. It is interesting, as it contains local history and the finds of the area and significant people of the area. Definitely worth a visit. Park down by parking bays and walk up to the museum."

"The museum covers the archaeology, history and culture of the city of Galway like most city museums do, but here the text is in Gaelic and English, with the Gaelic text first, as it is still the official language of the nation which I thought was a nice touch. The Galway city museum is one of the best museums I have visited anywhere in the world, both with the standard expositions and the changing ones. They also offer a virtual tour and have a very detailed and user-friendly website which I absolutely recommend you visit, whether you are planning on going here or not."

"I visited the museum this morning with my daughter. We spent approximately 2 hours there. It is a fairly small museum but there is plenty to see. I particularly enjoyed the exhibition on the Gaels and the Monument exhibition and the artworks. The museum is free to enter but they recommend a donation of €5. I would recommend a visit here to anyone visiting Galway."

"Easy to find,just in the heart of Galway city centre. Free entry, of course you can donate some money if you are willing to. They recommend to do 5 euros , which probably is a bit too expensive for the expositions there. Nothing much to see, took us around 20 mins to see everything. 3 floors , everything displayed very well. If you want to know something more about Galway and the Aran Islands, this place is a must. Recommended."
