Hey guys

My girlfriend and I are going to Cork city for the day on Sunday. We'll probably go into a museum or two during the day, so what are your suggestions?

I was thinking of going into the crawford art gallery, but is it open on sundays?

No. city museum is closed as well.

The Glucksman Gallery is open in the afternoon though.

By reading this website:https://www.fachtnaroe.net/~it.seanc/project/museum.html

it looks likes the museum in Fitzgeralds park is open 3 - 5 on Sundays.

The Cork city Gaol and radio museum: http://www.corkcitygaol.com/

is open on Sundays 10:00 - 16:00.

good suggestion murphym7

earwax_man, the Gaol (jail) and the museum in Fitzgeralds park tie in nicely together, content, experience and distance wise. If you're walking, it's nice (+shorter) to go through Fitzgerald park and over the shaky bridge.

Enjoy.

Thanks guys

What do you think about this so? Get off in Kent station, walk to to the butter museum, spend an hour or so in there; spend some time in the city; go to Fitzgerald Park and maybe go to the museum if it's still open.

As a huge fan of museums in general(main reason i spent so long in Germany over the summer) all i can say is be prepared to be bored out of your skull up in the butter museum....

I think the Butter Museum is either closing or already closed.

I think there is a museum in Collin's Barracks but you might have to book by appointment.

I thought I read in "da paper" that it was closing and some sound thing-y was going in there, but I might be wrong:)

Either way, here's a look

I didn't need an appointment when I went there but it is only open for a short periods on certain days, best to check before you go
