Limerick Museum is a free museum housed in the historic Granary building on Michael Street. It showcases the rich history of Limerick City and its people through a collection of artefacts, including the city's 1197 charter, civic silver, military memorabilia, and everyday objects. Highlights: displays on medieval Limerick, the siege of 1691, and the city's industrial heritage. Suitable for older children (5+) who are interested in history; younger kids may find it less interactive. Facilities: accessible entrance, lifts, and nearby cafes. The museum is compact, so a visit typically takes 30-60 minutes. Practical tip: combine with a walk along the River Shannon or a visit to King John's Castle nearby.
