County Museum Dundalk

County Museum Dundalk occupies three exhibition galleries in a restored 18th-century warehouse. The displays cover the region's development from prehistoric times to the present day with objects and materials from different periods.

The building was constructed in 1780 as a grain store for a local distillery and served this purpose for many decades. It was later repurposed and now functions as a cultural institution.

The museum tells the story of County Louth's development across different periods through its displays and events. Visitors can see how the region and its people evolved over time.

The museum is located on Jocelyn Street and accessible most weekdays. Visitors should note there is a midday closure, so arriving in the morning or afternoon is recommended.

The museum uses a special digital system that helps visitors explore the displays in an interactive way. This technical feature sets it apart from many similar institutions.
