Ireland’s National Maritime Museum is housed in Dun Laoghaire’s 180-year-old Mariners Church, directly opposite the new DLR Lexicon library and easily accessible by DART suburban train and several bus services.
The museum’s greatest artefact is probably the building itself as it is one of a few custom built places of worship for seafarers remaining intact in the world today.
Experienced guides will bring you on a voyage of discovery, enthralling you with stories of discovery, heroism, war and disasters at sea. You will learn about maritime history, exploration, navigation, radio, deep-sea cable technology, nature, wildlife and view art inspired by the sea.
Our mission is to provide a great museum for everyone, this can only be done through your help and support. Even during our normal operations your support is greatly appreciated.
Our work still goes on, so we really need your help to get us through this difficult time. Please consider making a donation, if you are in a position to do so, so we can continue our work when our doors reopen.
