Part of the 1st of the museum, nice collection of religious medieval artefacts |
Top floor of the museum, bits of domestic, commercial and military life in Waterford in the middle ages |
The crowning achievement of the museum, the only medieval vestments from Northern Europe remaining. I returned to this place 3-4 times, just staring at the amazing detail |
Silk thread made in Italy, then embroidered in Bruges in Belgium, insane beauty in this work! |
A portion of the True Cross, where Jesus Christ was crucified, never seen such before |
On Sunday I popped over to the Medieval Museum in Waterford. What a great plce! So much there, I spent 6 hours just hanging out, learning, taking photos and sketching. I was surprised how much stuff they had, definitely the best medieval museum in the country after the National Museum in Dublin. I would recommend spending the day there if you're in the area!
