This is a truly excellent museum and some of the artefacts are genuinely stunning - notably the medieval vestments which seem to be of global importance as well as extraordinary in their artistry. The staff we met were also very friendly and helpful.
We were a bit disappointed (and frustrated on behalf of the museum) that the souvenir shop is missing an opportunity by stocking mainly generic Irish tourist memorabilia rather than items referencing the amazing artefacts in the exhibition. If there had been books or posters of the vestments, replica cloak pin jewellery or amber paternoster bracelets we would probably have bought them!
Hopefully food for thought.
