This 18 acre site with Georgian house was presented to the Cork Corporation in 1907 by the Cork International Exhibition Association. The site became Fitzgerald Park, a lovely garden in an unspoilt part of the city. The building, known as the Shrubberies, was first turned into a museum in 1909. It became the location for the Municipal offices after the burning of the city hall by the Black and Tans, and re-opened as the present museum in 1945. The collections cover local history and date back to the Mesolithic period, with particular emphasis placed on civic regalia and the trades and crafts of the 19th and 20th centuries. Other collections include Cork silver and glass and delicate Youghal lace. Admission is free.
