This is the oldest County Museum in Ireland and in one of the oldest buildings. But, it is very modern and well kept. One of the oldest items in the museum is an ancient pot going back thousands of years. The curator and staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. There was a tea and biscuits for the opening of the historic lace exhibit the day we visited. The museum is free of charge and accepts donations. The gift shop is very nice as well.

I loved Armagh County Museum. It's right in the centre of Armagh, it's free of charge, and the staff working there were both knowledgeable and friendly. You will find a selection of local artefacts, ranging from prehistoric axes, swords and statues to mysterious crotals, and from Saint Bridget's Crosses to containers for bog butter, and much more. Highly recommend!

Great little county museum in Armagh city and beside the Mall. It's got a bit of everything from Neolithic, Viking, local art and costume through the recent centuries. At the moment, there's a small exhibition about the beginning of Partition and the creation of Northern Ireland. The museum is located on two floors, has toilets, a lift and a shop.The staff are pleasant and very knowledgeable. There's plenty of free parking beside the museum.
