A small museum with displays on the geology, archaeology and history of the Dingle Peninsula, as well as changing temporary exhibitions. With artefacts on loan from the National Museum of Ireland, as well as those sourced locally, this is where you will get a good idea of how people lived in the area from the time of the first known settlers in the late Mesolithic. The museum text is displayed in Irish (Gaelic) and English, and translations are also available in German, French, Polish and Norwegian. The museum has been involved in the Museum Standards for Ireland Programme (MSPI), managed by the Heritage Council, and is a Fully Accredited Museum. Interactive touch-screen displays are available on topics of the Irish Language (learn a few words!), Ogham stones (with fun games included) and the Early Medieval Period - with so many sites from that time to be found in the area. The café/bookstore has many book choices for those learning Irish, and for children
