This constantly expanding and beautifully maintained museum, 300m east of the Largo, is a labour of love for the curator and Friends of the Museum. It’s housed in a former cork magnate’s mansion (stunning in itself – note the original kitchen). The building displays a rambling collection of local costumes, while the garden has agricultural implements. In the stables, there is a fascinating exhibit, including a video, of the town’s once-buoyant cork industry, which is part of the local cork route.
