Clare Museum, Historical museum in central Ennis, Ireland.
Clare Museum occupies the former Sisters of Mercy Convent building, featuring two main galleries that present local artifacts spanning 6000 years of regional history.
The structure dates to 1854 when it functioned as a school and chapel, with Charles O'Connell frequenting the site during Catholic Emancipation campaigns of the 1820s.
The Riches of Clare exhibition displays collections of archaeological finds, agricultural tools, musical instruments, and personal items from notable County Clare residents.
The museum, located at Arthur's Row in O'Connell Square, maintains partnerships with the National Museum of Ireland for archaeological artifact collection and display.
Clare Museum holds the personal journal of IRA volunteer Patrick Brennan and maintains records of the 1914 All-Ireland Hurling Championship teams.
