The Museum of Childhood Ireland, Múseum Óige na hÉireann – championing children and childhoods.
The museum challenges the outdated belief that “children should be seen but not heard”.
MoCI takes a wide-angled approach to childhood that is Island-wide and International in scope.

The Museum of Childhood Ireland needs a home. While we have a wonderful collection which includes Dolls houses, the stories of the children who played with them, and of the lives lived by children islandwide and amongst the diaspora from historic to contemporary times, we now need a museum home – a space where everyone can gather to explore and celebrate the diversity of childhood.
