The building is beautiful, and the lens is gorgeous, but the rest is pretty homespun. Not what you'd expect of a national museum of any kind.

The National Maritime Museum is a fantastic place to bring a family to as they will absolutely love ringing the bell, the foghorn and getting photographed with the pirate, before venturing upstairs to the prisoners socks where you can look right down!

Small but interesting; you must read the brochure and stories. It's in a beautiful church and that helps, plus there are some huge surprises there it's kinda cool.

The church in which the museum is housed is beautiful. The exhibits and the stories surrounding them are fascinating. Great way to spend some time.

When visiting Dun Laoghaire this is a Must-See!! Steeped in history, lots to see and read up about. Beautiful location.

We attended a wedding at the museum which used to be a maritime church. It made a great venue and was really quirky. The staff couldn't have done more to help and contributed enormously to the enjoyment of the day.
