Turlough Park House is set in spectacular surroundings, framed by magnificent
gardens, reflected in the still waters of its own lake. This is the first branch
of the National Museum to be located outside of Dublin, and complements its
three sister venues in Dublin.
The National Folklife Collection has been assembled by the Museum's professional
staff. Here, in award-winning galleries, laid out in many ingenious and innovative
ways, are the lives of the ordinary people of Ireland from the period 1850-1950.
