Waterford skatter: Adgangskort til middelaldermuseet
Beskrivelse
Det prisvindende middelaldermuseum er det eneste museum i Europa, der er bygget over to nationale monumenter, det 13. århundredes choristers' hall og det 15. århundredes borgmesterens vinkasse. Gå ikke glip af de utrolige Cloth of Gold klæder, der blev tabt i over 120 år efter de blev gemt fra Cromwells hær, den store charterrulle, som blev set af dronning Elizabeth II på hendes besøg i Irland, og det eneste stykke tøj, der overlevede kong Henrik VIII's styre, "The Cap of Maintenance".
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Middelaldermuseet huser det 13. århundredes korhaller og borgermesterets vinhvelv fra det 15. århundrede, i hjertet af Waterfords Viking Triangle og er det eneste museum i sin art i Irland og Europa, der er bygget over to nationale monumenter. Denne slående nye bygning afslører historien om Waterford gennem middelalderen, og besøgende wowed, når de går under den nye bygning i århundreder gamle hvælvinger. På udstillingen vises de storslåede klæder af guld, den eneste komplette førreformation, der er indstillet til at overleve i Europa. Det er det eneste komplette sæt middelalderlige høje massevester som overlever i Nordeuropa, som blev tabt i hundreder af år, efter at de blev skjult for Cromwells hær i gulvet i den daværende Christ Church Cathedral, det eneste tøj, der overlevede fra kong Henry VIII's regeringsperiode, 'Cap of Maintenance', såvel som den store charterrulle, der blev set af dronning Elizabeth II under hendes besøg i Irland. Tag turen med vores kostumerede re-enactor, eller brug vores multimediehåndholdt vejledning på engelsk, fransk eller tysk, eller bare vandre rundt på din lesiure gennem museet.

Fantastic history of Waterford given both as film-form and also an exhibition. The highlight was when I walked in a darkened room and thought I had gone astray. Low lights came on and I had the wonderful sight of Medieval Vestments, spun in gold. They were HUGE. Then I discovered there was an explanatory short film with their history- over 500 years old! Well worth a visit, for this experience alone.
Really enjoyed this museum, the architecture of the building itself is impressive. We met an incredibly kind gentleman who took great time to explain how to get around the building and navigate the stone steps and stairs etc. (child with additional needs) Great audio visual to explain the history and the different artifacts. I love the special price ticket that covers all the museums - great value!
All the staff and the guides were outstanding, we visited the medieval museum and the Irish museum of time with our summer camp group, the kids really enjoyed the workshops afterwards, I definitely recommend everyone to give it a go!
Dear visitor, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience visiting the museums as a group. We were delighted to welcome SLT to Waterford treasures for the first time this summer, and have the kids for several workshops and tours within the museums. We're delighted everyone enjoyed the experience, and we look forward to welcoming you back with new students again soon! Thank you so much for recommending our Education Workshops! Many thanks, Waterford Treasures
Not what I was expecting and not much too see. Took about 20 minutes tops and nothing medieval to see here.
Dear Michael, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're very sorry to hear that the museum wasn't quite what you expected. The museum holds medieval artifacts discovered in Waterford between 1170 and 1690, and we hope you'll give us another chance some time, by joining a guided tour. Many thanks, Waterford Treasures
What an experience. Our guide Maeve went above and beyond with everything. Her knowledge and delivery of information made this tour both interesting informative and so enjoyable that anyone who doesn’t do this is missing out on a wonderful tour Do go and check it out. This tour was part of a package that we bough for €23 which also included a walking tour Bishops palace and Time Museum and the silver museum Best value for your money
Dear Madeline, Thank you for your wonderful review on your recent visit to Waterford. Maeve will be delighted to hear that you enjoyed her tour, it's so nice to hear that you felt she went above and beyond to deliver a tour that was both informative and interesting - and better yet, a must do! We're glad you were able to avail of the Freedom Pass and enjoy some of the other museums we operate in the area! Many thanks, Waterford Treasures
Fantastic so Interesting and a wonderful lesson in local and national history. A must see
Dear visitor, Thank you for your kind review. We're delighted that you found the Medieval Museum to be so interesting. We really appreciate your recommendation for others to visit the museum! Many thanks, Waterford Treasure
Neat museum with an impressive array of medieval artifacts relevant to Irish history.
Dear Sean, Thank you for your review, great to hear you thought the museum, and its artefacts, we so interesting! We hope to welcome you back again some time soon! Many thanks, Waterford Treasures
A contemporary museum featuring many remarkable and high-quality exhibits (including sacred ones), which atmospherically presents a rather painful part of Ireland's Anglo-Norman history in the Middle Ages. The close connection to the history of the Normans and the English crown is made clear, as is the military superiority of the Normans. A must-see museum for history enthusiasts beyond well-known castles and forts, providing visitors with a good introduction to this part of Ireland's history. The admission price of €12 is rather at the higher end of the scale for a permanent exhibition of this size. The museum shop is well-stocked, and there is no museum café given the museum's location, but options are available in the immediate vicinity. The parking lot on Bolton Street is not far away and is cheaper than the many parking spaces along the banks of the River Suir.
Dear visitor, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Medieval Museum. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the exhibits, and felt that the Medieval and Anglo Norman history was shared so tastefully. We appreciate your comment on the cost of admission, though we always try to offer our cost friendly bundle ticket, where time to explore other museums is available. We're glad you enjoyed our Medieval giftshop, and your note on parking will be a big help for future visitors, too! For all food and coffee needs, we're glad to have Bishop's Palace Cafe available less than 1 minute away in our other museum - where they kindly offer 10% discounts to our visitors! Be sure to check it out the next time you visit Waterford City! Many thanks, Waterford Treasures
This museum is well worth a visit. The medieval artifacts they have are totally amazing the most stunning of which are the church vestments from the 1300’s woven and embroidered with gold. It is not a huge museum so maybe two hours max would be enough time.
Dear Rich, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It's great to hear that you felt your visit was worthwhile - even if just for a couple of hours. We're delighted that you enjoyed the artefacts, particularly our cloth of gold vestments - the only complete set of pre-Reformation medieval vestments left in North Europe! We hope that you enjoyed your visit to Waterford City. Many thanks, Waterford Treasures
Amazing collection in a gorgeous building with a lovely staff. Only bummer was no guided tour available on the day we visited.
Dear Andrew, Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed you visit, despite the lack of availability for guided tours. While it's not the most common occurrence, it can happy on occasion unexpectedly! We hope you might be able to visit again to experience this museum guided! Nonetheless, we're delighted that you felt welcomed by our team, and that you enjoyed the collection itself! Many thanks, Waterford Treasures
