The Custom House Visitor Centre is a 'must visit' for any visitor to Dublin especially those interested in Ireland's struggle for independence. This wonderful Georgian building designed by the great James Gandon in the 18C only opened to the public in late 2021 and is a treasure trove of information that will hold your interest as you travel through the various rooms and view the easy to understand information on display. The OPW staff at the Visitor's Centre were very professional and helpful and a special thank you to Colm for his assistance and helpful information.

The staff were excellent and we did a tour.
There are posters and video screens telling the history and stories of the rising and troubles in the 1920s.
However it did feel a little blank using too much electronic devises to tell its story.
It is crying out for some historical items from the period and a few mannequins dressed up as soldiers would bring what is otherwise a beautiful building to life.

A very interesting tour of an historic building. The tour was self guided and covered the history of the building from the original idea up until the present day. including the backgrounds on the people who planned, designed and built it. There were models of the building in its original design also. there was a special part of the exhibition on the custom house fire. There were also panels detailing the history of Ireland during the different phases of the history. The staff there were very friendly. The panels and A.V. presentations were consise and interesting. The tour took an hoyr
