Worth the time (only an hour). Wonderful, witty, engaging guides make this great! We took the tour three times with three guides, and really enjoyed it.

Great museum and tour guide. Will definitely come back next time I am in Dublin. Really enjoyed the details on the struggle for independence and JFK.

Went there for the U2 photo exhibit last August. Charming place. Quick history of Dublin in the 20th century. Workers were very friendly.

I'd walked past the Little Museum a few times but finally got a chance to pop in -- and it was so worth it. Focusing on 20th-century Dublin history, the walls are covered -- top to bottom -- with unusual bits and pieces, like a postcard from Samuel Beckett to a 12-year-old boy whose family lived in Beckett's childhood home,...

This museum gives a unique perspective on Dublin's past and ongoing development. I look forward to hearing what the museum has to say about the next thousand years.

The last tram was to Howth. Some of us did not lose the run of ourselves during the Celtic tiger. We are not as badly off as Spain or Portugal. I strongly object to being referred to as people with fun coats and no knickers. My parents and grandparents were all from Dublin. Kingstown Howth.So please don't show us off... More

When staying in Dublin don't forget to check out the Little Museum of Dublin near to St Stephen's Green. Like a lot of the architecture in Dublin it is a converted Georgian house and I was amazed to find a lot of Irish memrobilia relating to musicians and writers. As a U2 fan I was pleased to see a signed... More

An volunteer ambassador met with us for over an hour at an off site hotel tea room. It was a short walk from the museum. She shared insight about Dublin's points of interest and was very helpful on questions we had regarding our road trip plans after we left Dublin. Well worth the time.

Cracking little find, just off St Stephen's Green. A slightly random and eclectic collection of all kinds of 20th Century things which, particularly when coupled with the short guided tour, tell a genuinely interesting recent history of Dublin. JFK lectern (music stand) and signed U2 album were among the highlights. Give it a visit, and make sure you hang around... More
