Description

Step into the story of Dublin’s past at Dublinia, located in the heart of Dublin’s historic quarter at Christ Church. Housed in the stunning 19th-century Synod Hall, right where Viking and medieval Dublin once thrived, Dublinia brings over 1,000 years of Dublin’s past vividly to life through immersive exhibitions, engaging tours, and authentic storytelling. Begin your journey aboard a Viking Warship, try on traditional Viking clothing, and explore the tools, weapons, and everyday life of these legendary settlers. Walk down a bustling Viking street, peek inside a smoky longhouse, and uncover the myths and mysteries that shaped their world and legacy. Continue your journey into medieval Dublin, where you’ll experience the sights, sounds, and smells of a city in transition. Discover life inside a merchant’s kitchen, learn about medieval medicine, punishment, and daily survival, and explore an authentic city street brought to life with sounds and stories. Dive deeper into Dublin’s rich heritage through audio-visual storytelling and fascinating artefacts on loan from the National Museum of Ireland, including finds from the iconic Wood Quay excavations — a rare and powerful glimpse into everyday life in Viking-age Dublin.
