Located in Cobh in an old church which is lovely to look at. Some historic pieces in a very old style museum. Not very big and it will take up 45 minutes of your time for 10 for a family. Not a lot for the kids to see. Not an interactive museum which would be the norm these days.

Amazing collection of treasures from Lusitania ship.
The Cobh Museum, located up the stone steps just across the street from the train station in the small historic 1854 Scots Presbyterian Church building overlooking Cork Harbour, has a wide collection of exhibits, photographs, books, artifacts and memorabilia reflecting in varied themes, the cultural, social, commercial and maritime history of the town. Included in these are a number of rare and interesting documents including log books, manifests (prisoner lists etc) of ships that sailed to Australia, as well as the last written record for the RMS Titanic in the Pilot's Log book. The museum also contains historic information on the Presbyterian Church and includes a genealogical reference service to visitors tracing their ancestors. It's a voluntary museum and run on a not-for-profit basis. The volunteer staff member on attendance when I visited was most welcoming and friendly.
This museum is very small but worth a look when in town. We or they were confused about opening hours - suggest checking before walking over there. They have a very eclectic assortment of exhibits all with the slant of period pieces related to Cobh (Queenstown). The price seemed a bit high but in the end we were glad we stopped. Parking can be an issue so plan on walking from wherever you park.
Very interesting.
Its small but interesting. Bit overpriced at 10 for 2 adults and 2 kids, given that there are places in Cork with free admission.
The museum itself is quite small but size does not matter. It is very intresting and there are very different kinds of things to see from maratime past. The church is a lovely location to house it as well The staff are friendly.
Small museum, check time prior visit. Interesting g old medical stuff. No cards accepted.
