Glasnevin Museum
Georgina Campbell
Glasnevin Museum is a dynamic visitor attraction located on Dublin's northside. The Museum is of interest not only to anyone interested in Irish Heritage & Genealogy, but also those interested in art, architecture and a day well spent.
The Museum exhibits, designed by Martello Media are modern and interactive, showing the social, historical, political and artistic development of modern Ireland through the lives of the generations buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.
The self-funded €11 million museum showcases the social, historical, political and artistic development of modern Ireland through the lives of the 1.5 million people buried in Glasnevin Cemetery – Ireland’s national necropolis. Glasnevin Cemetery was originally opened by the great ‘Liberator’, Daniel O’Connell, in 1832 for the purpose of burying ‘people of all religions and none’ with dignity.
