Jewellery Showcase
Until 31st August 2015
An exhibition showcasing the Museum's important collection of Victorian costume jewellery.
Amongst the accessories on display there will be delicately carved bog-oak jewellery that was most popular in the 1860s. Many of the pieces featured in the exhibition are based around traditional Irish designs including one on the Tara brooch.
The historic costume accessories also on show were once essential accoutrements for every fashionable Victorian lady. The collection includes the gilt posey-holders, button-hooks and intricately made chatelaines that wouldn't have been as prized then as the latest iPhone today.
Opening hours: Monday to Friday 10.00-17.00, Saturday 10.00-13.00 & 14.00-17.00
Admission: Free
