National Museum of Ireland - Decorative Arts & History
Georgina Campbell
Collins Barracks still retains an air of grandeur from its previous use as an army barracks. Completed in 1704, it housed military for over 290 years before being taken over by the National Museum of Ireland in 1997.
It is home to a wide range of objects, which include weaponry, furniture, silver, ceramics and glassware; as well as examples of Folklife and costume.
You'll find Irish haute couture garments, furniture, silver, jewellery, ceramics, and exhibitions exploring Irish military history, including the 1916 Easter Rising.
