Little Museum of Dublin

This clever, eclectic little museum sets out to tell the history of Dublin in the last hundred years through the objects and stories of its citizens. The collection includes art, photography, ads, letters, objects, and ephemera relating to life in the capital since 1900. Housed in the first floor of a Georgian building, it even has an interesting section on U2 and how the city shaped them. There's a slightly informal, hodgepodge feel to the place, but that just adds to the pleasure of strolling around and taking it all in. The museum has regular, free guided tours for visitors and also hosts intimate classical music concerts and fascinating talks.
