Why Visit the GPO History Museum in Dublin?

The General Post Office Museum, better known as the GPO Museum, is one of Dublin’s must-see attractions. Located inside the city’s historic General Post Office on O’Connell Street, it’s a place you shouldn’t miss during your trip to the Irish capital.

The GPO Museum takes you on a journey through Ireland’s past, exploring the events that changed the course of the nation. You’ll learn about the 1916 Easter Rising and modern Irish history through a range of immersive and interactive exhibits.

With your GPO Museum ticket, you’ll see original artefacts and historical documents and watch a powerful film that brings the Easter Rising to life. You’ll also learn about the Irish War of Independence, the Anglo-Irish Treaty, the Civil War, and the challenges faced during the peace process.
