The collection is so big, however, that it has expanded beyond the walls of this superb
purpose-built building next to the Irish parliament into two other separate museums - the
County Mayo, on Ireland's west coast. They're all fascinating, but the star attractions are
to be found here, mixed up in Europe's finest collection of Bronze- and Iron-Age gold
artefacts, the most complete collection of medieval Celtic metalwork in the world, fascin-
ating prehistoric and Viking artefacts, and a few interesting items relating to Ireland's
fight for independence. If you don't mind groups, the themed guided tours will help you
wade through the myriad exhibits.
