  • Davor Goll

There are not many Jews in Ireland and in Dublin, and there is only one Jewish museum in Dublin -- but it is a very nice museum. It is packed with valuable and very well preserved exhibits, it is managed and maintained by very kind and knowledgeable people. There is even the synagogue on the first floor. Definitely worth seeing!

The rich Jewish history of Ireland is conveyed exceptionally well at the museum, and the guides are outstanding for their wealth of knowledge and clear dedication to their work. This is also the best place to visit in order to understand the current situation of Irish Jewry.

So exciting to find this museum in Dublin. Such an interesting history. Very knowledgeable staff. Synagogue upstairs is wonderful. I said the shehecheyanu in joy for being there. Did not expect to see any Hebrew in Dublin. So cool! Bought the book.

The Museum is a record of Irish Jewish life from 1079 until present day. It includes how some very important people came from this very small community including Israeli President Ciam Hertzog who grew up in the Streets surrounding the Museum. More

This small museum is home to the Jewish heritage of Ireland. Upstairs is the synagogue, downstairs there are displays of artifacts and memorabilia. The museum is open by prior arrangement and located outside the city centre, a short taxi ride.

One of these small places staffed by old residents of the community that does a great job of bring the past to life. Touching. The Jewish community no longer lives in the area, but they are still part of the fabric that has made Dublin great!

We walked from our hotel in the city center to visit the museum. Hidden away on a side street in a residential area, this tiny museum is worth a visit if you have roots in the history of the Jewish people. The docents are friendly, the

  • Mick McGuinness

It was interesting to see the Jewish history in Ireland and see how people live in the early 19th Century. Also the museum had a musty smell which did invoke memories of old Dublin something you'd never forget after growing up with it.

  • Nina Tripp

Small and cozy museum with a lot of charm and a super inviting staff. It's not far out of the way of the city and contains a ton of information on a fairly small group, as well as having a very beautiful synagogue upstairs.

Don't look for revelations or high tech. This is a collection of pictures, letters, and documents describing a vanishing community.
