Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin Overview
Kilmainham Gaol is a prison museum in Dublin. Built in 1796 as a prison and re-opened as a museum in 1971, this was the place where several Irish rebels and leaders were imprisoned and hung during the national movement of 1916, the Easter Rising, in addition to common criminals.
It houses a huge part of the Irish nationalist history. After it was shut down in 1924, there were various agitations to preserve the prison as a monument of national history. Since opening in 1971, it has proven to be a very important museum of Irish history. It takes the visitor back to the times of the Easter Rising and the struggles for independence throughout history. Over the independence struggles of the last 2 centuries, nearly all the leading Irish revolutionaries have been inside the walls of this prison. There are exhibitions of paintings and sculptures of prisoners in the museum now, and guided tours will take you through the minute details of the prison.
