Fitzgerald Park & The Public Museum

In addition to archaeological finds from excavations surrounding Cork’s medieval walls, there are exhibits that illustrate the economic and municipal history of the city, such as civic regalia and items detailing Cork’s merchant history.

There are many mature coniferous trees in Fitzgerald’s Park, which are well-liked by Coal Tits and Goldcrests. A small ornamental pond is home to Moorhens and Mallards, and the beautifully maintained flower beds attract bees, hoverflies, butterflies and other insects to the park’s beautifully maintained flower beds. This site plays a significant role in Cork’s biodiversity.

The tasks in the museum are very varied. On the one hand, you must deal with the monitoring and storage of individual exhibits. On the other hand, it is extremely important to ensure the preservation of the exhibits. The digitization of the individual pieces around photography and online resources are also becoming increasingly important to make the collections more accessible.

Fitzgerald Park and the adjoining public museum can be reached with a 30-minute walk or within 18 minutes by bus from the Imperial Hotel.

The Public Museum can be visited from Tuesday to Friday from 10am – 4pm and on Saturdays from 11am – 4pm.
