Great museum with some fascinating archaeological finds - Excellent museum with some very interesting artifacts. Staff are great and the self guided tour is highly recommended. Archaeological discoveries are fascinating as is the cemetery. Take soon time to talk to staff about other places to see in Kilkenny. Staff will provide you with many suggestions.

Nice stop on the medieval mile self-guided tour - We are glad we randomly stopped at this museum. John was very knowledgeable and proud of the local history. He provided us a nice city map with the essential stops clearly labeled. Without the map, we would have never seen all the important highlights this beautiful city has to offer. The audio tour was also very helpful.

Definite "must-do" in Kilkenny - Excellent, airy space with fascinating artifacts and information. Go outside as well into the graveyard. Staff was very kind. Hate that we missed the guided tours, but happy to have been able to see what we did.

Medieval Mile Museum - Was in Kilkenny for the day and decided I would go here. I learned a lot about history and the artifacts and tombs and everything else. It was definitely worth it and I would go again.

Museum tour made great by staff - Well
Worth a visit. We had the added bonus of John, I think that was his name, who gave us a quick explanation of what is what in the museum. Fully of knowledge and a passionate man. Museum is the same as all but a guided tour, if all are like John, would be the way to do it.

Good for someone who doesn't like museums - The museum didn't seem to have many exhibits; this bothered my husband who loves museums but made me happy since I quickly become bored in museums. The audio guide was informative and well done but it was often difficult to figure out where the next number was.
