The Museum, operated by Glasnevin Trust, is in its second year of operation having been officially opened in April last year.
The self-funded 11 million museum showcases the social, historical, political and artistic development of modern Ireland through the lives of the 1.5 million people buried in Glasnevin Cemetery – Ireland’s national necropolis.

The Milestone Gallery houses a succession of special exhibitions on key historical figures, starting with Glasnevin’s founder Daniel O’Connell. It also houses “the Timeline“ a 10 metre long digitally interactive table containing details of the lives and relationships of hundreds of the most famous people buried there.
The glazed Prospect Gallery offers periodic historical exhibitions over a panoramic view of the cemetery, along with information on its marvellous array of funerary monuments and historic graves.
