Military Museums

DFTC Curragh, MILITARY MUSEUM

This beautiful Museum is housed in one of the original permanent buildings on the camp.

The building was originally a stable during the British presence in the Curragh and in fact a section of the original floor and troughs have been retained in the museum.

Great care has been taken to transform the building into a modern museum which will take the visitor on a historic journey through time.

The Museum reflects all the users of the Curragh, the Defence Forces, the racehorse industry, the sheep graziers and recreational users.

In doing so, it recognises the responsibility that resides with all users to ensure its preservation for future generations.
