About

Quick facts: A rare collection of treasures from prehistoric to modern times fills an old Georgian Custom House with surprising global artifacts. Some objects, like a Viking helmet, have stories tied to famous collectors and international journeys.

Highlights: Along a grand limestone staircase, unique pieces from the Hunt family's eclectic collection bring history alive, including artworks by Picasso and a 17th-century silver chalice. Each room tells tales of Limerick’s seafaring and trade past through exquisite craftsmanship.
