The Hunt Museum is a gem in the heart of Limerick, offering visitors a chance to explore a diverse collection of over 2,000 works of art and antiquities. The museum is housed in the historic 18th-century Custom House, a beautifully restored building overlooking the River Shannon. Inside, you'll find everything from ancient Egyptian artifacts to modern masterpieces by Picasso and Renoir, as well as pieces by Irish artists like Jack B. Yeats. The collection was assembled by John and Gertrude Hunt, avid collectors who donated their treasures to the Irish people. The museum's intimate galleries allow for a close-up view of each piece, and the friendly staff are happy to share stories behind the exhibits. A visit here provides a unique insight into world history and art, all within a charming, manageable space.
