Cork Museum Guide
Referred to as The People's Republic of Cork by local residents, Cork has always had a certain rebelliousness running through the hearts and minds of the people. The museums of the county vary in age, subject and location and are sure to perk every visitor’s interest.
The Cork Public Museum is located in a wonderfully green part of the city known as Fitzgerald'sPark. The museum was established in 1945. Surrounded by parklands the collections in the museums are a variety of local civic documents with some entries from producers of local arts and craftwork.

Blarney Castle is located less than 10 km from Cork City and is famous for imbuing people with the 'gift of the gab' (kiss the stone first!) The castle was built in the 15th century by the McCarthy family and the legend arose out of the owner's attempt to charm with eloquent speak ('Blarney Talk'), the Queen of England.
