Tips from locals
Although opened in 1916, the Limerick Museum has only been housed in its current location in the attractive old Henry Street friary since 2017. Regarded as one of the top free things to do in Limerick, this important local attraction focuses on collecting and preserving artifacts related to the city's long and rich history. With more than 60,000 items dating from the Stone Age right up to today, highlights of a visit include a chance to see a rare collection of Limerick lace, local silverware, as well as clothing and weaponry. Also of interest is the largest meteorite to land in this part of Europe (it actually made contact with the earth in Limerick). While you needn't spend too long exploring the museum (it isn't very large), it's certainly worth a visit.
