Chester Beatty
Dublin Castle, Dublin 2
Artistic treasures from around the world

With free admission and described by the Lonely Planet as not just the best museum in Dublin, but one of the best in Europe, the Chester Beatty is a must-see on any Dublin visitor’s itinerary.

As the only museum in Ireland to win ‘European Museum of the Year’, the collection includes manuscripts, miniature paintings, prints, drawings, rare books and decorative arts from countries across Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe.
