The museum has an impressive collection of documents, photos, audio and memorabilia, including first-hand accounts, of the Easter Rising 1916. It could be better organized, and I found it difficult to figure out what order I was meant to use moving from display to display. Still, it was quite interesting.
Excellent experience, would highly recommend. The audio visual was also very well done at explaining the events of the 1916 Rising. Very good value for money also - spent around an hour in here in totalVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
The staff was really sweet, that's always a plus on my list! As for the museum, I really liked the video showing the Easter Rising of 1916 that took place in Dublin. Apart from that, I found the exhibition a bit poor for the price. It was nice overall but not a must for your bucket list. If you had to choose between this museum and the museum of Ireland Emigration I would recommend the latter 100%. It's one of the best museum I've been too. Enjoy your stay in Dublin peps, Cheers,
Definitely not the largest museum, but however well worth if you are visiting Dublin. Especially, if you are like myself and aware of some of Irish history, but not really educated on it. Learned a great deal about a specific part of this country's history. Exhibits are very informative and well done. On a separate note, the gift shop is also convienent for buying a post card if you need to send one to friends/family back home with stamps readily available at the Post Office counters across the entry way.
Loved learning the history and plight of the Irish people fighting for their freedom. Great exhibit! Must see when visiting Dublin especially if you love history!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
We’d recommend coming here as one of your first stops in Dublin to give yourself a grounding in modern Irish history. It’s helpful to appreciate other museums and the Gaol, as well as the modern buildings that you will see. The ticket pricing is reflective of the quality of the museum and you get a free audio tour which is an essential for maximum tourism knowledge. We would say the information here was greater than anything shown or written in the displays. There is a short video which takes about 20 minutes, so bring a coat, a pillow or lover that you’re willing to sit on. We were in the museum for 2 hours so had no time for the cafe, so we can’t help you there sorry.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this. It helps explain important 20th century Irish history on the spot. You need enough time to walk around, maybe up to 2 hours but you could spend more because the information on offer is extensive and well presented. One of the highlights of our trip and we don't necessarily head for museums on a city break.
Really enjoyed this small museum in the historic Dublin GPO. It did a great job describing the lead up to the 1916 Easter Uprising, what happened during the conflict, and why it resonated so deeply in Ireland and around the world. I especially appreciated the descriptions of the conflicting points of view and how they intersected. Young man at the check in desk was very kind and informative, excellent customer service.
The museum isn't really about a post office, it actually tells the story of the Easter Rising which I found more interesting! The exhibition is mainly on one room downstairs and doesn't take too long to go around, there's video booths you can sit an watch the a larger theatre section that tells the main story and goes on for a bout 15-20 mins.
Easter Sunday commemoration marks 107 years since 1916 Rising President Michael D Higgins and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar attend ceremony outside the GPO
