Hi Mathilda,

There are no museums dedicated to Viking history in Ireland. Many of the larger towns in Ireland (including Limerick) have Viking origins. Some of the following sites will help:

www.wesleyjohnston.com/us...kings.html

www.ncte.ie/viking/

viking.no/e/maps/ekart-ireland.htm

www.vikinganswerlady.com/Ireland.htm

Had you thought of getting the kids interested in Celtic history instead? There are interesting re-creations at the Craggaunowen Project near Shannon. They will also love Bunratty Castle & Folk Park.
