    Situated in the hearth of Dublin's fashionable Georgian streets, this is a unique museum - a restored four-story town house that reflects the lifestyle of a Dublin middle-class family during the period 1790 to 1820. The exhibition ranges from artefacts and works of art of the time, to carpets, curtains, floor coverings, decorations, paintwork, plasterwork, and bellpulls The nursery also includes dolls and toys of the era.
    Location: 29 Lower Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin 2.


    Anyone visited this town house? Do you know if its free.

    It was restored and funded by the ESB as a condition of being allowed to knock that side of Fitzwilliam Square for their HQ.

    I saw it on Culture Night a few years ago and it was free then but not normally.

    Unsurprisingly, they have a website.

    I was there a few years ago and found it very nice, pleasant, informative and a nice way to spend an afternoon.
