The Government has announced funding of €600,000 to the Little Museum of Dublin to complete the curation and interpretation phase of its' redevelopment project.

This year a capital project is beginning to upgrade the building to improve the visitor experience and to provide universal access throughout the public spaces within the building. The museum will feature new elements including a space for a dedicated youth education centre, a visitor welcome reception and upgraded exhibitions about Dublin.

The project is part-funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media, along with Fáilte Ireland and the Museum.

The museum has also secured funding from Fáilte Ireland to undertake capital works to the building and is working with distinguished conservation architects to realise this ambitious project.

The Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media Minister, Catherine Martin said: "The redevelopment and expansion at the Little Museum of Dublin is a tremendous project that will greatly enhance the offering at this important cultural facility in Dublin’s City Centre. The Little Museum, through its presentations and programmes, provides engaging insights in relation to the city and people of Dublin.

"The Little Museum makes a very significant contribution to the development and promotion of Ireland's cultural tourism offering, to the delight of both the domestic and foreign tourist. I wish all those involved every success; and I hope that the public will enjoy this wonderful facility when it has been completed and opened in the coming months."
