The Little Museum of Dublin To Return Home to St. Stephen’s Green After €4.3 Million Transformation 

The Little Museum of Dublin is delighted to announce that tickets are now available to purchase (www.littlemuseum.ie) ahead of the busy summer season. The museum will close its current temporary location at 33 Pembroke Street on May 25^th as the team prepares to return to its beautifully restored Georgian home on St. Stephen’s Green in the heart of Dublin. Doors are scheduled to reopen to the public in early June.

After an ambitious €4.3 million renovation, the museum’s historic townhouse has been transformed with remarkable enhancements. Visitors can look forward to expanded and reimagined exhibition spaces, a new reception area, a discreetly integrated lift to improve accessibility, a sun-trap patio and an enriched collection of artefacts donated by the people of Dublin.

Since 2011 the Little Museum of Dublin has welcomed over one million visitors and stands as a vibrant celebration of the city’s history and community. Ranked number twelve among Europe’s top twenty-five attractions on TripAdvisor, the museum has earned a reputation for immersive storytelling, theatrical flair, and warm Irish hospitality. Despite operating from a temporary home on Pembroke Street for nearly a year, the museum retained its crown as the number one “Thing to Do” in Dublin on TripAdvisor, which is a testament to the extraordinary response from guests who enjoyed the museum’s guided tour experience.

The reimagining of the Little Museum of Dublin was part-funded by Fáilte Ireland, along with the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Dublin City Council, and generous corporate and individual funders. The museum worked with distinguished conservation architects Deaton Lysaght to realise this ambitious project, which not only enhanced the building’s fabric but also created a new youth education space, upgraded exhibitions, and improved interpretation throughout. 

The museum will be opened seven days a week from 9:30am to 5pm, offering guided tours every forty minutes. In addition, a new daily walking tour, The Little Walking Tour of St. Stephen’s Green, will take place each afternoon at 2:15pm.
