The Hunt Museum houses an internationally renowned collection of artwork and antiquities dating from the stone age to the 21st century. It is particularly well known for its collection of religious works of art. Some of the artifacts and artwork on display are from the mediaeval period in Ireland; others come from as far away in space and time as ancient Greece and Rome. The collection also includes paintings by Renoir and Picasso, as well as the marvellous Limerick Mitre and Crozier, the Arthur Cross and the Arthur Chalice. The shop has a comprehensive selection of reminders from your day out, while Ducart's Restaurant features tasty, filling meals. Admission: adult EUR5 and child EUR2.50.
