Overview
This is where your visit begins. The ground floor of the museum houses our reception and a new bookshop that is full of great reading and fun souvenirs. This floor is also home our exhibition on the Golden Age of Dublin. In the 1790s a young English draughtsman called James Malton decided to create a group portrait of Dublin. His timing was impeccable, as the second city of the British Empire was then among the most splendid in Europe. But Dublin went into a long decline after the Act of Union in 1800. This exhibition explores the life and work of a brilliant artist. It is also a miniature biography of Dublin at the height of its golden age.
