One of the best small museums I have been to. It has a massive variety of tools and items from old kinsale.
You can also learn about the siege and the sinking of the Lusitania.

Very insightful look at Kinsale through the centuries. Spectacular artifacts, particularly related to the town’s industries during the 1800s and the sinking of the RMS Lusitania.

We enjoyed looking around this small museum. The ground floor has displays resembling shops in days gone by, including a blacksmith's. Upstairs there is a good display on the sinking of the Lusitania, among other interesting items. There is a small entrance charge.

Somewhat interesting museum if you have time to kill. Gives general information about the battle of Kinsale and the Lusitania, but not much else.

Kinsale Museum has reopened since September 2022. It highlights the Battle of Kinsale, a real turning point in Irish History. Also the sinking of the Lusitania is well featured in the upstairs display. The Museum is well worth a visit.

Interesting small collection of local historical artefacts. A little cluttered and could benefit from a clearer curating strategy, rather than displaying such a wide and eclectic range of disparate items.

Visited during our honeymoon. Small museum, but Kinsale shares a big history, such as the sinking of the Lusitania.
