Full description

Collins Barracks is the Decorative Arts and History branch of the National Museum of Ireland, housed in a former military barracks in Stoneybatter that served armies for almost 300 years. Galleries range from Irish haute couture and silver to military history and conflict photography.

Admission is free, and the sheer size of the complex means visitors rarely feel crowded. It suits solo explorers and anyone who likes to drift through varied collections at their own pace, with around 75 minutes enough for a good overview.
