14 Henrietta Street is a social history museum of Dublin life, from one building's Georgian beginnings to its tenement times. We connect the history of urban life over 300 years to the stories of the people who called this place home. In intimate group tours, we bring to life the stories of the humans who lived in the house, their changing circumstances, their experience of family life, of politics, and the impact of world affairs. By listening and talking with visitors, historians, local residents and their families and through the knowledge of others, the museum continues to discover new stories, gathering memories and adding to the museum's collection and visitor experience.
Got a good idea of how this house turn from a wealthy one to a shared house for 100 families. Good tour guide with stories and videos. Lots of things are inevitably replica. Historical but maybe visit when you have extra time and like me if you are fascinated by the social development.
Very informative and well laid out tour with some interesting audio visuals. Our excellent guide Elizabeth brought us through the the social history of the house from the opulent Georgian times to the later tenement hardships. For anyone interested in the social history of Dublin well worth it.
If you have only ONE day in Dublin - do this tour! We've spent 5 days in the city and frankly this experience was the best thing we did. A moving and authentic view into both history and humanity. Jillian brings a special passion to this story if you are fortunate enough to meet her. Prioritize this above all else.
The museum is very good. I highly recommend it to know more about georgian houses and Dublin's life. The experience was overall really good. However, the tour was with a group of 20 people, and the rooms are not big enough to appreciate all with big groups. The museum should consider this. The guide was ok, good information but with no group management at all. He started to talk before the group was inside the room. I've lost half of the tour because of this.
Brilliant part- restored Georgian townhouse that started life as a home for nobility, then became a monstrous tenement within 150 years. Small group guided tour compulsory, so book in advance. Our guide was excellent, with insight from being a tenement dweller herself. No toilets, cafe or parking. Easy 10 mins walk from Jervis LUAS stop.
A must visit for locals and tourists. A real look into tenement life in Dublin and the history on how it started. Lloyd was our guide and was brilliant. He is a local who was born and bread close by which added to the experience hearing the history and stories with a local accent and colloquialisms.
