Ireland’s first wax museum was set up in 1804 by the famous Madame Tussaud and has had many reincarnations since. It is now one of the most popular visitor attractions in Dublin. It has moved from its original location in Shakespeare’s Gallery in Exchequer Street in 1804 to The Armoury building on College Green home to the former Central Bank of Ireland to O’Connell bridge where it remains today at the epicentre of the city.

They Loved it

★★★★★ 5/5

I was walking on the main Boulevard and I saw the signs for the Wax Museum. I had some time to kill so i decided to see it. it’s an enjoyable experience you get to see some viking scenes, medieval Dublin and contemporary as well . Also have a good horror section, kids and much more. If you fancy something else after castles and churches give it a shot!

Visiting on Halloween Spooky Factor up to 11, each room had some great insights into Irish History. The chamber of horror was first class as was all the all star area with pop/movie stars. A really enjoyable tour.

Lovely and interesting museum for kids and adults, a chance to have your photo take along with your favourite Irish (and not only) writers say Oscar Wilde or actor Liam Neeson anybody or singer, Phil Lynott and of course many more . I go there once a year and love it every time. That’s the first place I bring my visiting friends or family, so I can easily recommend it. And they even have a small but relevant horror chamber!!!
