Discover Ireland's rich heritage through silver at the Irish Silver Museum in Waterford.

The Irish Silver Museum is an intimate and personal collection of silver treasures from Ireland. From the Vikings to the Victorians, our collection has been created by Ireland’s virtuoso craftsmen over the course of a millennium. The collection offers a rare opportunity to step back in time and explore the fascinating storey of Ireland through its magnificent silver treasures.

Highlights include the Waterford Kite Brooch, a sword granted to the city by Edward IV, silver owned by Jonathan Swift, and commemorative pieces from Ireland's significant military conflicts. Some of these objects in the museum feature the names and arms of their owners or unusual decorations and features – but all of them tell a storey.

This intimate museum offers a self-guided experience, allowing you to delve into the stories behind each piece at your own pace.
