Donegal County Museum
.................................................................................................................................................

Donegal County Museum was first opened to the public in 1987 and is housed
in what was once the Warden's house of the Letterkenny Workhouse, which was
opened in 1845. The Museum contains two galleries, workshop, storage area and
offices. The role of Donegal County Museum is to collect, record, preserve,
communicate and display for the use and enjoyment of the widest community
possible, the material evidence and associated information of the history of
Donegal. The Museum holds a substantial collection of original artefacts
representing the history of County Donegal and covering subjects such as
archaeology, history, social history and folklife. The Museum has two exhibition
galleries.
The first floor gallery contains artefacts which relate the history of Donegal
from the prehistoric period to the present day. On the ground floor the Museum
holds a wide variety of temporary exhibitions.
