This small but interesting museum is overshadowed by the Hunt Museum, but for history buffs it's worth stopping in, as it provides an insight into the town's background. It contains displays on Limerick's archaeology, natural history, civic treasures, and traditional crafts of lace, silver, furniture, and printing. Also on view are historical paintings, maps, prints, and photographs. Among its unique collection are the city's original charter, signed by Oliver Cromwell and King Charles II, and the civic sword presented by Queen Elizabeth I.
