National Museum of Ireland Country Life

Location

Turlough Park Castlebar, Co Mayo

History

Turlough Park House is set in spectacular surroundings, framed by magnificent gardens, reflected in the still waters of its own lake. This is the first branch of the National Museum to be located outside of Dublin, and complements its three sister venues in Dublin.

The National Folklife Collection has been assembled by the Museum's professional staff. Here, in award-winning galleries, laid out in many ingenious and innovative ways, are the lives of the ordinary people of Ireland from the period 1850-1950.
