10 Best Museums in Dublin | Condé Nast Traveler
"The Little Museum of Dublin is as quirky and eccentric as the city itself. Set in a gorgeous Georgian townhouse on the periphery of Stephen’s Green, this museum will take you on a path through the last century in Dublin. And it’s far from a lackluster historical lecture—U2, and the puppets Podge and Rodge, are given as much billing as James Joyce. The tour guides are enthusiastic (and, in some cases, delightfully bonkers), and they seem to know everything there is to know about the city. As entrance is by tour only, there’s a very specific route. You'll start in a traditional drawing room that commemorates 1900s Dublin (with talk of tenements and the 1916 Easter Rising), then move on to the modern history section, which is filled with memorabilia (including a letter from Samuel Beckett to the boy who lived in his childhood home). When the tour is finished, you can dive into the U2 room or the Editing Room, a re-creation of an Irish Times office from the first half of the 20th century." - Nicola Brady
