The Little Museum of Dublin has been allocated €600,000 to for its redevelopment project.
The project, which will commence in 2024, is part-funded by various organizations including the Department of Tourism, Fáilte Ireland, and the Museum itself.
The aim of the project is to improve the visitor experience and provide universal access throughout the building.
Fáilte Ireland has also provided funding for capital works, and the museum is working with conservation architects on the project.
Minister Martin commended the project, stating that it will enhance the cultural facility and contribute to Ireland’s cultural tourism offering: “The redevelopment and expansion at the Little Museum of Dublin is a tremendous project that will greatly enhance the offering at this important cultural facility in Dublin’s City Centre. The Little Museum, through its presentations and programmes, provides engaging insights in relation to the city and people of Dublin. “The Little Museum makes a very significant contribution to the development and promotion of Ireland’s cultural tourism offering, to the delight of both the domestic and foreign tourist. I wish all those involved every success; and I hope that the public will enjoy this wonderful facility when it has been completed and opened in the coming months.”
The project includes building upgrades, curation, interpretation, and installation of new features such as a youth education centre and upgraded exhibitions about Dublin.
