The museum was a neat collection of things, but a bit steep on price for what it is, which is one reason I give it 4/5 stars. To be fair, we also arrived at the last slot of the day (5pm) which has a higher charge. The other reason was the depth of the tour - a lot of interesting historical moments for Dublin, but not enough info to come away feeling like I learned a ton. That said, our guide Lisa was EXCELLENT. We had a small group, and she sang us a beautiful song at the end. To sing to a small group is really putting yourself out there, so bonus points for both bravery and capability. Her presentation was very solid and had a few key takeaways which were good if you’re unfamiliar with the city and it’s history. I did really like the museum for its collection of daily life over the decades. It’s neat to see those vignettes. Overall, worth a try!

We truly believe the little museum of Dublin is a must see if you are visiting Dublin. A tour is truly necessary to fully understand the real history behind the exhibition. You can get one for free which is great. Lisa was our tour guide and we definitely recommend doing the tour with her, she is exceptional at her job, a charismatic soul and really really interactive with the group which made the whole experience very pleasant.

Very good guided tour from Teresa. However the museum is just a mish mash of objects vaguely relating to the city of Dublin. It is far too expensive at €15. The far superior National Museum is free!

The Little Museum of Dublin is a collection of random objects pinned to the walls of a beautiful Georgian house. Our guide, Teresa, who begged for a review at the end, talked at great length and speed about the anti-English sentiment in Ireland while pointing at random objects. The fast paced nature of the guided tour meant reading or examining the artefacts in more detail was impossible. Finally, at the end of the tour she sang at the top of her lungs. Verse after verse. I quite enjoyed seeing some stuffed dead animals at the end, especially the seagulls.

This museum has good reviews, although I wasn't a fan. That being said, I opted to do only a self-guided tour and so was limited to seeing the ground floor and the 2nd floor, neither of which I found very interesting. The staff were friendly and polite. I may have had a more meaningful had I taken the tour.

2 friends and I attended the guided tour which lasted 30 minutes, followed by the opportunity to wander the museum independently. Our tour guide Emma was great, very knowledgeable yet entertaining at the same time. My friends and I enjoyed the experience and would recommend others to visit. The museum itself is quite small but quirky and carries a lot of character. The tour caters to all ages and is family-friendly.

It was €15 each to have a tour and access to the museum. Although our tour guide was engaging, we felt that the speed of the information being given to us left a lot to be desired. It was far too fast and left huge gaps in the history, meaning that Irish-novices such as ourselves were left with a disjointed view of Irish history. The museum itself is ok. We felt that if there were more plaques to give background information on the artefacts, it would have been easy to navigate. We left the museum feeling that we didn’t know much more about Dublin than we could have.

I found Trevor's talk a bit disappointing. Although he was very amusing and very engaging, I thought he skimmed over the major events of Irish history (like the Famine, the fight for independence, the decline of Catholicism) rather too quickly. He might have explained for instance that the Famine could have been avoided if the wealthy hadn't taken all the available food for themselves. But I liked his rebuttal of the idea that the English gave the Irish nothing, listing all the things the English HAD given the Irish. It was an enjoyable 40 minutes but I wouldn't recommend the talk to anyone who wants a more detailed outline of Irish history.

Fantastic guide, knowledgeable and funny. Got good insight into the history of Ireland and made me want to know more. Really good service when we came a bit late for the last tour of the day.

This review is for visiting the Little Museum of Dublin without a guide. The place itself (centrally located) is not large (hence the "little"). We did not pay the entrance fee as it was included in our Do-Dublin Hop-on Hop-Off Tour. The museum is decorated with artifacts from Irish history. However, there were only a few things that seemed of great interest. A tour would probably be useful when visiting this place. Having said that, though they're capped in number, the tour we saw looked pretty crowded for the size of the place.
