Irish Agricultural Museum, Agricultural museum at Johnstown Castle Estate, County Wexford, Ireland
The Irish Agricultural Museum contains nineteen detailed exhibitions across three floors, displaying farming equipment, traditional workshops, and rural life artifacts from Ireland's past.
Founded in 1979 by President Patrick Hillery, the museum originated from Dr. Austin O'Sullivan's collection of farming materials gathered throughout the early 1970s.
The exhibitions include restored tractors, dairy equipment, traditional kitchens, and craftwork spaces representing blacksmiths, coopers, wheelwrights, and basket makers.
The museum occupies 1,900 square meters of gallery space in the farm courtyard buildings, offering both self-guided and guided tours for visitors.
The museum contains an extensive exhibition about the potato and the 1800s Great Famine, including a documented collection of farming transformations during the Industrial Revolution.
