National Maritime Museum of Ireland
The lexicon square around the National Maritime Museum in Dunlaoghaire all lit up for Christmas. Housed in the former Mariners’ Church, a striking 19th-century building, the museum offers a deep dive into Ireland’s long-standing relationship with the sea, from ancient times to the modern era. One of the most compelling exhibits is dedicated to the tragic story of the RMS Lusitania, which was torpedoed during World War I off the coast of Ireland. Visitors can also learn about the Irish naval service, with displays on key vessels and the men and women who served in it.
The museum’s collection extends beyond traditional exhibits, with interactive displays that bring the maritime world to life. The building itself, with its nautical architecture, creates a fitting backdrop for this exploration of Ireland’s seafaring past.
