What Visitors are saying
The guides were all so kind and friendly
My wife and I visited the museum today as it was one of limericks top attractions. The guides were all so kind and friendly. They also offered a lot of good information, things that we would have missed on our own.

To clutch at night, seek at dawn to see its grace, is a security that would be impossible to replace. Painters captured delicate collars in the portrait face: with me, a lace piece or two, will always have a place.” C. Smallwood. Regarded as one of the finest examples of late Georgian architecture: the true beauty of 2 Pery Square, was finally revealed after a huge restoration project, whence this rare and beautiful jewel became The People’s Museum of Limerick. Illustrating the extensive, myriad lives of the people, buildings and streets of the remarkable city, the museum is under the care and management of Limerick Civic Trust. Come and enjoy a tour in the company of knowledgeable, extremely warm and friendly Tour Guides; who will bring stories, as well as the house – to life.

Great staff, Great Tour
Limerick is bursting with history! Cathal, who guided our one-hour walking tour, knew how to bring this history alive. He was knowledgeable and willing to respond to as many questions as we were willing to ask. Save some time at the end to explore the museum as well. My one suggestion? Refresh (or learn) a bit of Irish history before you embark. Speaking personally, my own knowledge was woefully low, so I had little context in which to place all of Cathal’s wonderful stories.
