If you want to discover the rich history and heritage of County Carlow, visiting the multi award-winning Carlow County Museum is a must!
The museum has a wide collection of items and artefacts from Carlow, giving a rich insight of our local history. An essential visit for any history buff or curious visitor!
From the 340 million year old fossil to the 20ft church pulpit and an exquisite 2mm Iron Age glass bead, there’s plenty to keep inquiring minds satisfied and entertained.
Among the displays are exhibitions featuring: the magnificently hand carved 19th century wooden pulpit from Carlow Cathedral, one of the top 100 objects to view in an Irish museum; the gallows trap door from Carlow Gaol used in 19th century public executions; an exhibition on the Carlow Sugar Factory, Ireland’s largest sugar factory, which was opened in 1926; the wonderful stained glass panel by Peadar Lamb commemorating the 1916 Rising and its Carlow links; and the newest exhibit the grave effigy of Robert Hartpole, Constable of Carlow Castle and High Sheriff of Carlow, dating from 1594.
Carlow County Museum is part of Carlow Town’s Cultural Quarter and admission is free.
Open Monday to Saturday. 10am to 4.30pm. (last entry 4.00pm)
