Excellent representation of the dramatic events that would ultimately change Ireland, and to an extent, the world.

Visited for the museum tour bit, it was super informative, lots of interactive areas, and the short film was really educational. I learned a lot, and really glad I went.

Très intéressant, et très loin d'être un musée de la poste comme je pensais ! Le musée parle davantage de l'Eastern Rising , événement qui conduira à l'indépendance de l'Irlande.
