The Irish Military War Museum and family park,offers a fascinating insight into Irish participants' involvement in both World War One and World War Two, as well as other military conflicts in world history. The Irish Military War Museum, covering 5,000 square feet of floor space, will represent a distinctly non-political but 'must see' educational and historical resource for people of all ages and from right across the island of Ireland and beyond.

Wow!!Went here today and what an amazing experience. The museum is brilliant and a huge collection of memorabilia. Fergus who works there is very knowledgeable and spent alot of time with us showing us everything and telling us stories and facts. My son said this is the best museum he has been in,way better than the one in Dublin city and Bovington in the UK. He will be returning at some stage with his friends. Worth every cent. I would highly recommend a visit here.

After leaving Kilmichael Ambush Site, we decided to keep going and travel to the Independence Museum, as I discovered that the museum would be open on Bank Holiday Monday. I was greeted by Siobhán, a volunteer to the museum and she gave me a booklet with a lot of information and showed me downstairs to the main museum and the order of museum. It was self-guided and I had time to view and look at each item in my own time. It was lovely to read and see so much information about the Civil War in this locality. The space was small, but there was so much information crammed into this space. This place is a must for those who are interested in Irish history and it was lovely to see other places of interest discussed within the museum. The entrance fee was €5 for adults and it is well worth the price. I could have spent hours going through in detail all the items that they have to display. Would strongly recommend and would love to go back and see more items that I missed.

This exhibition has been prepared by Irish Veterans, a Registered Charity established to research and commemorate the global military experience of the Irish and Irish diaspora. The exhibition will guide you through Irish involvement from the American Civil War up to the war in Afghanistan. Among the artifacts on display is the only Medal of Honor displayed outside of America.

The previous review is not accurate. Passing comments supposedly from a gift shop owner is untrue considering there's no gift shop in the vicinity. The military museum has been in existence for years and it was the Defence Forces who established it not any private individual. The staff are excellent.
5. Tipperary Museum of Hidden History
Tipperary Museum of Hidden History is a state-of-the-art visitor experience in the centre of Clonmel, Co. Tipperary in the heart of Ireland's Ancient East. This new museum brings Tipperary's rich hidden history vividly to life through characters, stories and one of the largest museum collections in Ireland. Expect to be surprised and intrigued by what you find!
