Inishbofin Heritage Museum & Gift Shop

Reviewed By JenningsSteph

I visited the Inishbofin heritage centre and museum on a recent visit to Inishbofin. Marie's collection of cards and photographs are fabulous. She takes the most beautiful photographs around Inishbofin and creates wonderful cards and framed photos. It's lovely to be able to take a litlle bit of Bofin home. Marie also has a wealth of knowledge about the history of the island. Make sure you call on when on the island.
