Kerry County Museum

Kerry County Museum, Heritage museum in Tralee, Ireland.

The Kerry County Museum is housed in the Ashe Memorial Hall and displays objects spanning different periods of the region's past. The spaces show prehistoric finds, medieval items, and other evidence of how life developed in Kerry over thousands of years.

The museum was established in 1992 and opened with archaeological displays from the region's early periods. Over time it expanded its collections and added reconstructions of historical places to help visitors understand how communities developed.

The museum's name in Irish is Príomh-Mhúsaem Chiarraí, and it occupies the Ashe Memorial Hall, dedicated in 1928 to the republican Thomas Ashe (1885–1917), who was from County Kerry. Among the exhibits are duelling pistols used by Daniel O'Connell in the early nineteenth century and a display devoted to the Antarctic explorer Tom Crean.

The best time to visit is in the morning when the galleries are less crowded and you can explore at a comfortable pace. The facility is within walking distance of the town center and has seating areas where you can rest between exhibition spaces.

The building opened in 1928 as the Ashe Memorial Hall, named two months after its opening for the republican Thomas Ashe (1885–1917), who was from County Kerry. It was designed by Thomas Joseph Cullen in the Neo-Georgian style, built in ashlar stone at a cost of £32,480, with a symmetrical 13-bay frontage facing Denny Street.
