Cork Public Museum, Municipal museum in Fitzgerald Park, Cork, Ireland
The Cork Public Museum operates from a Georgian building surrounded by 18 acres of landscaped gardens alongside the River Lee in Fitzgerald Park.
Built in 1845 by the Beamish brewing family, the museum building served as a reception venue during the Cork International Exhibition of 1902 and 1903.
The museum displays Bronze Age mining tools from West Cork, Iron Age helmet horns, artifacts from medieval Cork walls, and items from the Port of Cork.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Friday between 10:00 and 16:00, Saturday 11:00 to 16:00, with additional Sunday hours during summer months.
