Reviews & Comments
A good example of an excellent local museum, with well designed exhibitions tracing the history and heritage of Cavan from pre-Christian times right up to the mid 20th century. Particularly interesting exhibits include the Lavy Sheela-na-gig and the and three-faced stone Corleck Head (pictured) dating from the 2nd century BC.
There are also good sections on sport and costume, with many example of the local craft of lace making. The GAA Gallery which opened in 1999 will only really be of interest to those with Cavan connections, but for them it is a treasure house of sporting history and includes a large collection of medals, cups, jerseys, and programmes.
The museum is housed in a magnificent 19th Century building and guided tours are available and worth taking.
