On the ground floor, the museum focuses on the early beginnings of the area with a re-creation of a medieval town.This amazing project did give us a small taste of what life was like here back in the Middle Ages. Upstairs, the exhibits are devoted to the archeological and more modern history of County Kerry. Included in these exhibits are Sunflower pins from the Bronze Age; dueling pistols used by Daniel O’Connell (an Irish political leader in the early part of the 19th century); and a medieval brooch rescued from a turf fire after being lost for a thousand years.
While this is not a huge museum compared to some of the others we’ve visited during our travels, it never-the-less was quite interesting and worth a visit.
