IRELAND'S NATIONAL LEPRECHAUN MUSEUM OPENS IN DUBLIN


BASED IN THE HEART OF THE CITY, THE NATIONAL LEPRECHAUN MUSEUM, DUBLIN, IS A NATIONAL CULTURAL ENTERTAINMENT CENTER THAT TAKES VISITORS DEEPER INTO IRISH AND CELTIC CULTURE TO DISCOVER WHAT REALLY LIES BEHIND THE WELL-KNOWN TALES OF IRISH CULTURAL ICONOGRAPHY; LEPRECHAUNS, RAINBOWS AND POTS OF GOLD. THE NATIONAL LEPRECHAUN MUSEUM IS THE FIRST EVER VISITOR ATTRACTION DEDICATED TO IRISH MYTHOLOGY AND PROMISES TO OPEN UP A FUN AND MAGICAL WORLD FULL OF FASCINATING FOLKLORE AND ENCHANTING STORIES. THE ONE-STORY, 16,000sqft MUSEUM IS STRUCTURED LIKE A FAIRYTALE STORY, WITH 12 INDIVIDUAL CHAPTERS EACH TRANSFORMING VISITORS TO THE HEART OF IRISH CULTURAL IDENTITY AND IMAGINATION. EACH CHAPTER REPRESENTS EITHER A PART OF IRISH MYTHOLOGICAL HISTORY OR RECREATES AN EXPERIENCE TYPICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH LEPRECHAUNS. THE RESULT IS A SERIES OF CAPTIVATING, INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES, FROM THE FIRST EVER SIGHTING BACK IN THE 8th CENTURY, THROUGH TO MODERN DAY REPRESENTATIONS OF THE LEPRECHAUN IN FILM AND POPULAR CULTURE. AUDIENCES ARE ABLE TO FEEL WHAT IT'S LIKE TO JOURNEY DEEP BENEATH THE ROCKS OF THE GIANT'S CAUSEWAY, OPEN UP THEIR MINDS TO THE SIGHTS AND STORIES OF IRELAND'S MYTHICAL OTHERWORLD ON A TRIP TO FAIRY HILL, EXPERIENCE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE IN A LEPRECHAUN-SIZED WORLD AND JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE RAINBOW TO SEE IF THE ELUSIVE CROCK OF GOLD REALLY EXISTS.
