Waterford’s number one tourist attraction

The stunning Medieval Museum of Waterford was built in 2013 and is Ireland’s only purpose-built medieval museum. It is also the only building on the island to incorporate two medieval chambers: the 13th-century Choristers’ Hall and the 15th-century Mayor’s Wine Vault. The spectacular giant sculpture on the gable was inspired by a tiny belt mount found in the city. The museum contains The Great Charter Roll which was viewed by Queen Elizabeth II on her visit to Ireland and the cloth-of-gold vestments which were hidden from Cromwell’s army and only rediscovered when the Cathedral was rebuilt in the 1780s.
