National Print Museum

A small working museum in the old Garrison Chapel at Beggars Bush Barracks, focused on how printing was done in Ireland. Inside, it’s arranged like a traditional print shop, with letterpress machines, type cases, posters, and rotating exhibitions. The part children notice most is when a guide demonstrates the presses and lets visitors try simple hands-on printing. It suits school-age kids who like to see mechanical things move and to connect them with Irish history. Many families treat it as a one-hour outing and combine it with a relaxed café stop on site.
