Through our extensive collection, learn how war and the military have shaped the development of modern science and technology. Did you know Napoleon imagined the concept for the very first ambulance? And that it was the military that developed the mobile phone? Find out what other innovations were developed through military means at the Irish Military Museum And Park.
British and German uniforms from World War One, US and German uniforms from World War Two, and uniforms from the 1916 Irish Volunteers, and the US military and Viet Cong in the Vietnam War are on display.

There are props and costumes from movies such as Band of Brothers, Braveheart, A Bridge Too Far, and Game of Thrones. And to top it off, you can take a spin, and even learn to drive an FV432 APC armoured personnel carrier tank!
