5.00Well worth seeing if Irish music is your thing. Great collection of Thin Lizzy items, including the “Live and Dangerous” Fender P that his mum had in its Anvil case at home for many years. Our tour guide Anto was fantastic, great storyteller and really knowledgeable. Would definitely do again!
A hidden gem to celebrate music!

5.00Had a free morning on our tour and broke away from the group to see this museum and it did NOT disappoint!!!! Our tour guide Anto did an awesome job. We so loved seeing everything. The U2 room was a personal highlight for us but we also thoroughly enjoyed the movie about the history of Irish music! Highly recommend!

5.00Our visit to the Irish Rock ’n’ Roll Museum was simply magical. We experienced it as a couple, which made it even more special. From the moment we walked in, we were immersed in a unique atmosphere full of history and emotion. The exhibition is incredibly well designed and pays tribute to Ireland’s rich musical heritage in a truly engaging way. We especially loved learning more about iconic artists such as U2, Rory Gallagher, and Luke Kelly. Each section is filled with fascinating stories, authentic memorabilia, and insightful explanations that help you better understand their journeys, their influence, and their musical legacy. It’s both an immersive and enriching experience you don’t just see the exhibits, you truly feel the soul of Irish rock music. We left with a newfound admiration for these artists and the feeling that we had learned so much. A huge thank you to Elie for the warm welcome and contagious passion, which made this visit truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this museum to all music lovers an amazing experience!

1.00The tour was essentially three rooms of paraphernalia about U2, Rory Gallagher and Thin Lizzy. Waste of $$.
