Hunt Museum, Art museum in Limerick, Ireland.
The Hunt Museum displays 2,000 original works spanning from Neolithic artifacts to 20th-century art pieces in a Palladian style building along Rutland Street.
John and Gertrude Hunt established their collection in 1978, transforming the 18th-century Custom House into a permanent home for their archaeological and artistic treasures.
The museum collection includes Egyptian artifacts, Viking swords, medieval religious objects, and paintings by Picasso, Renoir, and Irish artist Jack B Yeats.
The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00 and Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00, with admission fees of €12.50 for adults.
Each object in the collection received a personal catalog number from John Hunt, who marked items with small paper labels using his fountain pen.
