Glasnevin Cemetery Museum, Dublin Overview
The Glasnevin Cemetery Museum is a cemetery-cum-museum on Finglas Road. It’s the world’s largest cemetery, with 1.5 million graves, and is the first-ever cemetery museum. The cemetery is the final resting place for various politicians, artists, and revolutionaries. Guided tours are available.
You can learn about Irish history or listen to the tales about people like Madame Markievicz, the first female cabinet minister in Europe. You can also visit the crypt of Daniel O’Connell, the man who discovered Ireland and climb the iconic O’Connell Tower. The museum opened in 2010 to the public and is the only cemetery museum in the world. It’s a Victorian graveyard with noticeably tall walls; these were deliberately constructed to prevent people from robbing graves in the olden days. Unfortunately, there are no direct buses from the City Centre to Glasnevin, so you can either catch a taxi or walk a little from the Drumcondra DART station.
