National Leprechaun Museum

Billing itself as the world's first leprechaun museum, the National Leprechaun Museum on Jervis Street presents Irish folklore and mythology through spoken storytelling. Its director, Tom O'Rahilly, began work on it in 2003 and designed it with Italian designers Elena Micheli and Walter Scipioni. It opened in March 2010.

Visitors are guided through a series of rooms, each built as a set for the stories. The basics of leprechaun lore are explained, including what defines a leprechaun, alongside the púca, fairies, the banshee and other creatures. A section on popular culture covers Walt Disney's visit to Ireland, which led to his 1959 film Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Along the way are a tunnel of optical illusions, a wooden replica of the Giant's Causeway and a room of oversized furniture that makes visitors feel smaller.

Opinion is divided. The Irish Times called it the "Louvre of leprechauns" in 2010, while a 2024 ranking based on Google reviews listed it among the world's most boring attractions.
