About
The Kerry County Museum sits in Tralee, the county town of County Kerry in Munster, Ireland. It is housed in the Ashe Memorial Hall on Denny Street, a neo-classical building whose striking facade makes it easy to spot in the town centre. The museum is also known simply as Kerry Museum.
What you will find inside
The museum's exhibitions trace the history of Kerry from prehistoric times to the present day. For a visitor, this makes it a useful starting point for understanding the county before exploring further afield. The collection is arranged to take you through the long sweep of the region's past, so you can move at your own pace from the earliest periods to more recent times.
One of the highlights is the medieval town experience, which brings the town's earlier life to the fore. It offers a different way of seeing Tralee's past than reading a guidebook alone.
