We are delighted to be able to reopen the museum on Monday 10th May and welcome old friends and new visitors. The museum will be open Monday to Friday from 11 to 4 each day.
During recent months we have reorganized sections of the displays and will gradually expand this work to include the entire museum. So, bear with us as sections may be closed from time to time in order to complete this work.
Museum curator Willie Fraher has introduced a
splash of colour to the walls and display stands. A new gallery section has been created for the
display of our paintings, drawings and prints. Next to this is a display on the history of
photography and printing in Dungarvan, and a selection of items relating to Co
Waterford authors which will be expanded in time. We are also introducing a series of new
illustrated text panels to replace the existing ones. We are trying to make the maximum use of the
small space available and our limited selection of exhibition cases to showcase
existing objects and display more of the artefacts in storage.
