Description
Irish history.
The Kerry Museum and the Geraldine Experience can be found in Tralee’s Ashe Memorial Hall, located at the end of Denny Street. As one of the towns top tourist attractions, the museum is always busy making the experience that little bit more authentic as all the people around you become as engrossed in 15th century living as you.
Follow the museums chronological route where you will meet Kerry’s first settlers in the Late Mesolithic site at Ferriter’s Cove on the Dingle Peninsula. Here you will learn of Kerry’s archaeology and history. Every artefact that you encounter has its own story to tell varying from a beautiful sunflower pin worn by the fashion-conscious in the Bronze Age, to the duelling pistols used by Daniel O’Connell, The Liberator, in the early 19th century.
The Geraldine Experience provides each visitor a unique vision of what medieval Tralee was. Hop on board a 'time car' and you will be taken back to 1450 to see how the people lived, the rats that roamed the streets, the effects that illness had on people and even smell the stench of the 15th century town.
The audio accompaniment that comes with the tour is available in 8 different languages you’ll be glad to know, as this is an experience not to be missed!
