Irish Museums and Heritage CentresThe array of museums and heritage centres that display and explain the Irish past has proliferated beyond belief during the past decade, so much so that many general-interest centres have now been complemented by an extraordinary variety of new and specialised collections. This pocket-sized guide offers a detailed and practical introduction to all the main museums in Ireland, as well as the many smaller, but equally fascinating, heritage centres dotted throughout the country. Each entry includes a brief account of the history and aims of each museum plus a detailed description of its major exhibits and facilities. Practical information on opening times, directions how to get there, etc., are also given.
