Incredible array of extremely rare and special books covering many religions… beautifully displayed. You can easily spend hours and hours discovering and learning about many different cultures through a multitude of manuscripts. Well worth your time and effort…
Fabulous array of extremely rare and special books covering many religions over the centuries. The work is beautifully displayed and i really liked the atmosphere created in the religious text area, Listening to the chants and prayers in the back ground, with each changing to suit the religion you are reading about. Handy lockers on the ground floor for your bags, coats, hats and scarfs and a lovely little gift shop and cafe on site. Lifts available for those with mobility issues and id always start from the top and work your way down. You can easily spend hours and hours discovering and learning about many different cultures through a multitude of manuscripts. Well worth a few hours especially on a cold wet winters day.
Lovely spot in the grounds of Dublin Castle. Could do with more signposting though. Free entrance. Lovely cafe with fabulous food. Gift shop with prints, books, jewellery, bits and bobs. Didn’t notice much Chester Beatty memorabilia though. Staff in the museum were really friendly. No car parking so not sure about disabled access. Toilets on the ground floor which are spacious and clean. Lift access to the upper floor. Various displays on each month so best to check the website.
I brought my students on a visit to the main exhibition and the current ‘First Fragments’ exhibit. What a fabulous treasure trove. One man’s collection from around the world. It’s free but donations are always welcome. Allow two hours at least. And take a break out in the garden or on the roof terrace in order to appreciate the full extent of the library.
Really cool museum!! There is no charge but places to donate throughout. We learned so much about ancient texts and papyrus. There was so much to see and read. Tons of history of the different world religions. I highly recommend
Wonderfully collection of art objects! Must see if you are in Dublin! By far one of the most interesting museums I have ever visited! And not too huge that you would need to spend hours in
A visit to this remarkable collection is well worth it! Pass through a gorgeous garden on the way in to view the largest personal collection of artifacts. Very impressive and well presented. Be sure to make a voluntary donation as admission.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Loved this place, its free but you can make a 5 euro contribution. The galleries are amazing, there were some incredible exhibits. It's located at Dublin Castle so you can enjoy the castle grounds too
I came here to see a Chinese New Year exhibition. The location is cozy, comfortable, tidy, and well-kept. We had a great time when we were here. A handful of the employees we spoke with were incredibly friendly and accommodating. It is strongly advised to also visit the museum.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Wow! The biggest collection of carefully collected manuscripts I've ever seen. Chester Beatty collected loads of stuff from over the world but loved that Irish ... So gave it to them for free. Only 10% of his collection is ever at display at a time. But it's free!
