The "we make our own histories" exhibition will be closed from the Tuesday 16th and Wednesday 17th July inclusive. We apologise for any inconvenience.

We regret that some of our Military History galleries at the National Museum of Ireland - Decorative Arts & History, Collins Barracks, Dublin 7, are temporarily closed for repairs

Our current restoration work means the first floor of our museum is closed. This limits our capacity so visitors should be prepared to wait in line outside for up to 1 hour
