Monaghan County Museum

Monaghan County Museum occupies two levels in the Peace Campus building and holds over 50,000 cataloged objects that document regional heritage and daily life. The collection spans different time periods and covers various aspects of how people lived and worked in this part of Ireland.

Founded in 1974, this museum grew from local efforts to preserve the region's heritage and stories. It underwent complete renovation in recent years, during which the entire collection was carefully relocated and documented.

The exhibition 'Bordering Realities' presents personal stories and historical accounts showing how life along the Irish border shaped daily experiences of local people. Visitors encounter different perspectives on what it meant to live near this dividing line.

Visiting is possible on weekdays and Saturday mornings, though checking in advance helps plan your time better. The building is easy to reach and offers parking options for those traveling by car.

Staff members offer specialized help to visitors researching local history through scheduled consultation sessions. This service allows visitors with particular interests in family history or local topics to explore deeper into the museum's resources.
