National Wax Museum Plus, Waxworks museum in Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland
The National Wax Museum Plus is a waxworks museum in Temple Bar with multiple floors displaying sections on Irish history, science, entertainment, and popular culture. The exhibits combine traditional wax figures with interactive modern technology.
The museum was founded in 1983 near Parnell Square and relocated to Temple Bar before moving to Westmoreland Street in 2017. These moves reflect its growth from a small venture to an established attraction.
The displays show Irish writers, politicians, and entertainers alongside international celebrities in detailed wax form. You can observe how Irish cultural figures are positioned within a broader global context.
The museum is located near Temple Bar and opens daily to visitors with special time slots available for sensory-friendly visits. Plan your visit in advance as it can get crowded during peak hours.
