From the golden age of cast iron is the main hall of the archeological Museum of Ireland in Dublin build between 1856-1857. For lovers of jewelry a must by the grandiose display of jewels from the beginning of mankind until the middle ages. All preserved remarkable well in the peat that covered more the 80% of Ireland and found over the years.

Here as example so called bossed and "thistle" brooches of the pre-viking penannular types.

Here a detail of the fence on the first floor. One for Good Fences here.
Yes this museum is worth a visit.

You cannot visit Ireland without visiting a whiskey distillery.

 These buildings were until the nineties the distilleries from Jameson Irish whiskey build in 1795 by the Murphy family in Midleton, Cork.

Of course there are a lot of showpieces.

Like these big barrels

or old trucks

But in the end it goes about one thing. How does it taste and you could get a real tasting diploma by tasting which whiskey is the best from different types. Unfortunately I was not one of those who could do this test. But I know now that Irish whiskey is distilled triple, Scots whisky double and American whisky just once.
