DUBLINIA

Museum recounting the history of Dublin in Viking and medieval times, with a reconstruction of a Viking ship and various artifacts.
Located right next to Christ Church Cathedral, this museum tells the story of Dublin in Viking and medieval times.
The Viking World exhibition is a great success, thanks to its highly successful audiovisual aids. And deservedly so! You can see mannequins in costume, a recreation of a Viking ship, and the customs and habits of the Viking world are told with simplicity and enthusiasm. You can also try on Viking clothing, visit a Viking house and even... become a slave!
The second floor takes you into the medieval era. Life-size models, reconstructions of streets and houses, and interactive educational exhibits (some with commentary in French) let you imagine the daily life of Dubliners in those days. Medieval fairs and games complete this rich picture.
The top floor features a collection of artifacts unearthed in the Wood Quay area as a result of research by Irish historians. The techniques used here are highly detailed and absolutely fascinating.
The tour ends at the top of Saint Michael's Tower (erected in the 17th century), from where the panoramic view over the city and the Liffey is breathtaking - although you'll have to climb the 96 steps! Instructive and fun, a visit to Dublinia is sure to delight the whole family. A must-see!
Tip for your visit. A sky bridge links Dublinia to Christ Church Cathedral. The perfect opportunity to combine these two visits without wasting time. And to take advantage of a combined ticket at a special price.
