Limerick Museum opened to the public in 1916 and remained in Pery Square until 1975. In 1979, the Museum relocated to two restored houses in John Square. In 1998 the Museum was on the move again this time to Castle Lane where it opened to the public in 1999. In 2012, the Museum was moved to a temporary location Civic Buildings, Merchant's Quay in due to the refurbishment and expansion of King John's Castle (Limerick). In May 2017, it moved to the present location in the old Franciscans Friary on Henry Street.[2] The museum is run by Limerick City and County Council. It is fully accessible to all. Entry to the museum is free. Limerick Museum received national recognition as a museum under the Cultural Institution Act 1997, which allowed it to become a designated museums of the collection of archaeological material. Before 1977 the Limerick city librarian was also the curator. The full-time museum curators included: Larry Walsh - 1977 to 2012.[3]; Brian Hodkinson - 2012 to 2017; Dr Matthew Potter - 2017 to Present. The mission of Limerick Museum is to collect, preserve and display items relating to the history of Limerick city and county from the Stone Age to the present day. It has a collection of sixty thousand objects gathered through donations, purchase and long term loan. ExhibitionsThe first exhibition ever held in Limerick Museum was in 1940 to commemorate the centenary of the death of Limerick novelist Gerald Griffin. Since then there have been a series of exhibitions on various aspects of Limerick's history and culture. This gives an opportunity for the rotation of objects within the collection by topic. For example in the Retrospective Exhibition (2014) the Charter of the City signed by King Charles II of England, a sword given to the city by Queen Elizabeth I of England as well as many other interesting items relating to civic life in the city were on display. In 1980 the Treasures of Thomond exhibition was held to mark the reopening of Limerick Museum in John Square. The centre piece of was the O'Dea mitre and crozier on loan from the Diocese of Limerick. These are now on display in the Hunt Museum.
