I just moved to the area and am becoming acquainted with it. My friends and I were looking for something to do and the Hunt Museum did just that for us. It does not take a long time to walk through but it does have interesting artifacts. One of the more interesting things to do in small Limerick City. Overall... More

If it's raining and you want a place to spend some interesting indoor time, prepare to be intrigued by the enormous collection of arts and artifacts collected by the Hunts, dealers and advisors in antiques, over many years.

We went on a Sunday, which was free. We had plenty of time to visit around all three floors. Very interesting and fascinating. It was my second time going, but I would recommend going again and again. They have a coffee shop and a lovely gift shop, bought a stunning piece of jewellery. More

Good layout, went on a Sunday which was free. Many of the objects just contained labels that gave a generic description and a date that said things like "believed to be around the 18th century". With today's records and internet access you would expect a bit more research into items when it is a museum that generally charges an entrance... More

Sett in the middle of Limerick City, this will well worth a visit. Lovely restaurant serving delicious meals, very reasonably priced. Full of interesting facts and historical items. Lots of airy spacious areas, so even when lots of people are visiting, it always seems as though you are almost alone. More
