We booked online, we were offered lockers for our bags on arriving so we could walk round , we learnt a lot about Dublins history through the ages with some politics and bad groaning dad jokes, but Emma our tour guide was an amazing actress and kept everyone engrossed and included, ending with a lovely song, a very talented lady .

    There are other better places to see; frankly a waste of time. It was all over the place, too many oeople jammed pack in the tour group. Tiny soace you couldn’t move around to look. Guide was delightful and samg at the end, but couldn’t salvage it.

    It was like a performance more than anything. Our guide was great and could be in a play. The museum did have a lot of unique items. Prob worth a stop for just 45mins

    This was a fabulous tour. Our tour guide, George, was knowledgeable and very funny. Highly recommend!

    This little museum left a huge impression

    Ariel_K, Nov 2025
    My husband and I chose to visit on a whim without reading anything about the museum, so we had no idea what to expect but nothing could have prepared us for this experience. It was nothing short of fantastic! This museum is unlike any I have ever visited in my life. It is an extensive collection of fascinating items and objects in a surprisingly small but appropriate space. There is so much to take in and you could spend hours just looking at all the items. Your visit to the museum luckily is guided by an incredibly talented storyteller. Our guide Emma was hilarious and gave not just a tour, but a genuinely enthralling performance. She was absolutely phenomenal and this little museum is one that would be a big mistake to miss.

    Great museum and tour

    Great quick way to hear the history of Ireland. Saul was very entertaining as our tour guide/host. Highly recommend!

    Big Fun at the Little Museum

    Susan_S, Oct 2025
    Very enjoyable hour at this little (albeit spread over three floors) museum as Sean, our guide, took us through a few hundred thousand years of Irish history complete with corny jokes and even some dancing. I believe you have the option to walk around on your own but don’t. You’ll miss all the fun.

    Best day in Dublin

    This was the highlight of our time spent in Dublin. The Georgian home,displays, stories, and humor told a great story of Irish history. Pauline’s song at the end was beautiful.

    Scott_W, Sep 2025
    Very informative and interesting overview of Dublin's history presented in a Georgian townhome by personable and engaging guides with a truly Irish gift for storytelling. Our guide, Fionn, was everything you could have wished for, and the other guides and employees seemed equally good.

    The one thing to do in Dublin

    Steven_R, Jul 2025
    If you’re only going to do one thing in Dublin The Little Museum is it. The visit was a fun experience as well as informative. Daryl does an awesome job of explaining the history of Dublin. He interacts with the group with a great mix of humor and fact. This is not your typical museum, but rather a fun learning experience.

    Wanna learn about Dublin? Look here.

    Anthony_K, Apr 2025
    It’s a very fun presentation more than it is a museum…very fun and educational too! This more about Dublin specifically than Ireland, but still Very informative.

    Wonderful brief glimpse into Dublin's history!

    Darrell_C, Dec 2024
    My wife and I really enjoyed this. Our kids were not with us, but this would be a wonderful experience for anyone of any age. Eamon was knowledgeable, funny and very entertaining. He introduced us to to same fascinating stories of Dublin's history and traditions. It is only about 30 minutes, which was just the right amount of time, though we had ample time afterwards to stay and see anything we wanted. I highly recommend this for anyone who has any interest in learning more about the history and culture of Dublin. You will learn things you will not learn anywhere else!

    Fun little museum tour!

    Judy_R, Nov 2024

    Isabelle was very knowledgeable, personable and entertaining! It was a perfect introduction to the history of Ireland in a nutshell which was especially helpful for my husband who hadn’t spent as much time as I had reading the guidebooks!

    Little Museum

    Excellent crash course in Irish history by a wonderful and charming guide!! Highly recommend starting your Dublin visit with this tour!!

    Great little gem

    Jennifer_R, Apr 2024
    This was such a great little space even though it is being renovated and they are using a pop up space. Pauline was our guide and she was outstanding. She was informative, engaging, and pretty funny. Oh and a great singer. Definitely check out this little gem. It’s worth it.

    Thanks Emma! So fun!

    Lisa_S, Mar 2024
    Emma was the best guide and she had a great singing voice! So entertaining and enthusiastic! This is a quirky different museum that still gives a lot of history of Dublin - a must see. Cool stuff inside!
