Waterford Treasures Medieval Museum, Waterford, Ireland The Medieval Museum houses the 13th century Choristers Hall and the 15th century Mayor’s Wine Vault, in the heart of Waterford's Viking Triangle and is the only museum of its kind in Ireland and Europe that is built over two national monuments.

We planned on viewing the museum on our own but were offered a tour guide and were able to be guided through by Clare. She was able to offer much more information than the signs around the building and told us about much of the history of the Waterford area. The museum had a ton of artifacts and vestments were wonderful to see.

Given that the building looks big from the outside, I was surprised how small it was inside.
There were staff in the ground floor area but we didn't come across anyone on the other floors.
It was quite dark in the museum and possibly no good for anyone who is sight impaired.
The gift shop is very basic and there weren't a huge amount of museum related souvenirs.
This museum was on the Waterford Pass.

Wir hatten den Pass gekauft mit Epic Waöking Tour, Bishops Palace, Museum of Time, Silver Museum und eben dem Medieval Museum. Wir waren beeindruckt von der Qualität der Führungen und der ausgestellten Objekte. Es empfiehlt sich, diese Kombi zu kaufen!
