The Waterford Treasures: Medieval Museum is the only museum of its kind in Ireland, purpose built over the 13th century Choristers’ Hall and the 15th century Mayor’s Wine Vault. Visitors are sure to be wowed by the museum’s collection.

Waterford Treasures: Medieval Museum, located in the Viking Triangle in Waterford City, is a striking building that reveals the story of Waterford through the Middle Ages. Visitors can venture beneath the museum into centuries old medieval vaults and view the magnificent Cloth of Gold vestments, reputed to be the only complete pre Reformation set to survive in Europe. They can also hear the tales of Waterford’s rivalry with New Ross, in County Wexford, vividly illustrated on the Great Charter Roll, which was once viewed by Queen Elizabeth II.

The museum’s timeless charm can be uncovered at a leisurely pace through a self guided experience, enhanced with audio visual displays. Guided tours are available subject to guide availability and Waterford Medieval Museum is included on Waterford Treasures’ Freedom Pass.
