We will be implementing a queuing system at both of our Museum sites that are re-opening on 29 June.

Director of the National Museum of Ireland, Lynn Scarff, noted:
It will be wonderful to welcome visitors back to our Museums on a phased basis from 29 June. Our collections come to life when our visitors engage with them and while the experience will be a little different to before, we hope our visitors will delve into the full sensory experience of a Museum visit in a safe and enjoyable way. We are encouraging visitors to visit museum.ie to find out more about the new measures in place and also to avail of a variety of online resources from our Museum at Home experience to complement their visit.”
