Super Cute Museum

Great little surprise!
Doug YSaul was a great guide. Very knowledgable and entertaining. Great tour!
Appalling, almost offensive
AnthelmThe conceit of the museum is really inspiring and the rooms themselves are interesting and engage with the theme of Irish identity from a number of new perspectives and angles. The approach of the staff, however, needs serious and urgent review. Cringeworthy jokes are one thing, and the patronising of visitors as if they were primary school children another. But when it comes to invasive questioning, gross stereotyping of Irish identity, mocking visitors with craven leprechaun performances, this is quite another. The guide seemed determined that everybody would leave thinking the Irish are a nation of fools and incompetents.
Great Value!
Paul and EleniCal was extremely entertaining and it was a wonderful education on the history of Dublin.
