I promised (long ago) to show the Cork Public Museum. And I figured, since I've been posting bits of it, I may as well show you the whole building (if you go along the right side of the building you can find the sign and door I showed you earlier).
The museum has been here since 1910, but shut down for a while and was reopened in 1945. The buildings, however are a different story -- the white part was built in 1845 as the Beamish family home; the red is much more modern and opened in 2005 (if memory serves me properly).
They have a really good collection -- of both archaeological artefacts and historical -- so multiple visits are always interesting as there's something new that catches your eye.

hi there!
I'm just back in Madrid from Ireland, I've been in Dublin, Limerick, Galeway but couldn'r reach Cork because it was far away and I didn't manage very well driving by the right lane!
Your counrty is beautiful and green, and Guinnes beer is dark and tasty! :)
