    Great museum with some fascinating archaeological finds

    Don_E, Jul 2025
    Excellent museum with some very interesting artifacts. Staff are great and the self guided tour is highly recommended. Archaeological discoveries are fascinating as is the cemetery. Take soon time to talk to staff about other places to see in Kilkenny. Staff will provide you with many suggestions.
