Clare Museum
.................................................................................................................................................

Clare Museum, Ennis, is located in a beautifully restored former convent
built by the Sisters of Mercy congregation in 1861. The museum
exhibition "The Riches of Clare: its people, place and treasures," occupies
two galleries and incorporates the traditional method of displaying original
artefacts from the county with modern interpretive tools such as colourful
display panels, audio visual and computer interactive presentations,
models, some replicas and commissioned art pieces.
The collection comprises a large display of archaeological material of local
provenance on loan from the National Museum of Ireland, the De Valera
Museum collection transferred from the County Library, and locally
collected artefacts never seen before in public.
