Cobh Heritage Centre

Cobh Heritage Centre

Cobh Heritage Centre is located in Cobh (also known as Cóbh or Queenstown), County Cork, Ireland, adjacent to Cobh Railway Station. It primarily showcases Irish history and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Cobh.

The permanent exhibitions at Cobh Heritage Centre include the "Queenstown Story," located in the central part of the centre, which details Ireland's long and rich history. The centre narrates the lives of Irish people during the 18th and 19th centuries, mass emigration, the Great Famine of Ireland from 1845 to 1852, and the transportation of convicts to Australia. In addition to Irish history, the centre also covers the Titanic — Cobh was the last port of call before the ship's sinking, with 123 passengers boarding there, 113 of whom were second-class.

Cobh Heritage Centre also features a dedicated restaurant, café, and gift shop for visitors, allowing them to dine or enjoy coffee in an elegant setting after exploring the museum.
