I visited The Little Museum of Dublin twice in the last couple of weeks. The first time I was with my husband and then I jumped at the chance to go again with my sister when I won tickets on their
Twitter page.
Though the museum is small each visit I noticed different things.
I would say the museum is a must see for visitors to Dublin and Dubliners alike. The guided tour lasts 29 minutes and covers the history of Dublin to the present day . The guide asks questions during the tour, I found they were different in the two tours I did. So some of the answers are feed ducks, condoms, music stand, Sinead O'Connor, U2 Monster Munch, and Neilson's pillar. Afterwards a cup of tea is in order so head to the cafe in the basement
The Hatch I can highly recommend the fish cakes, the carrot cake and of course the tea in a very fancy pot. Use the 10% discount on your museum ticket.

Below is a bus roller.
The driver or conductor wound the sign around until it showed the right number/destination.
I remember watching with bated breath to see if it would be my bus 19 or 19A |
