Today the Little Museum of Dublin hosted "Where Were You?", a Dublin Youth Culture and Street Style event from 1950 - 2000. The entire setup was very impressive and on arrival we were presented with wine (white or red) and freshly cooked canapes and cake. The event was free to attend, you just had to register with the Museum before hand.

The event presented an array of old and interesting pictures from around Dublin city, showcasing the difference in life for the youth back then. You would not have seen such a well put together and vivid display of this anywhere else!

After examining the photos of the "Where Were You" event, we ventured upstairs to explore the remainder of the museum. General entry to the museum is only €6 and tours run on the hour, every hour seven days a week. Click our blog post map link at the end of this post for directions to the museum.
I was soon to learn that every item in the museum has an intriguing story and this was explained impeccably by the knowledgeable staff. When you plan to go, I recommend taking the tour to get the full experience. You will be surprised with the amount of history associated with the artefact's in the museum.

The museum can accommodate large groups for guided tours and even private events such as receptions, birthdays and launch events etc. If you are planning something of this nature, the museum is an ideal venue. There is also an Irish cafe located in the basement of the building called Hatch and Sons, who serve artisan style food.
The museum is still relatively new, having only celebrated their 2nd birthday recently. I believe that this place will become a world class visitor attraction, not only for tourists, but for us locals too!
