Located in the heart of Temple Bar—Dublin's Cultural Quarter—the Irish Rock 'N' Roll Museum Experience is the only place in Ireland to celebrate Rock 'N' Roll. This 1.5-hour tour will take visitors on a historical musical journey, where you'll travel behind the scenes of some of Ireland's largest acts. This fully-guided tour has informative exhibits from Irish Rock 'N' Roll with access to one of Dublin's most legendary venues and recording studios. Over the years these facilities have hosted some of Ireland's most popular artists including Van Morrison, Thin Lizzy, Sinead O'Conner, and others. Discover more than just the music itself, this museum provides some insight into the lives and careers of the artists, and is a way to really walk in the footsteps of some of your musical heroes.

Traveler reviews
Fantastic tour
Had a fantastic tour of the museum with Matthew, he was very engaging and witty. Also very knowledgeable and friendly all around. Would definitely come back and recommend to any fans of rock and roll who can make the trip!
Great tour!
Our guide Reece was welcoming, entertaining, had lots of behind the scenes stories and his passion for music was infectious. The perfect balance of information and letting us explore the rehearsal rooms and studio and many artefacts without feeling rushed. Most of us hadn't realised how many musicians we knew had stepped through those doors - and how much back catalogue we need to revisit! If you have any interest at all in Irish/rock music head here....
Irish Bands
Sterling was our guide and told many great stories about the memorabilia and the legend behind them.
