GPO Visitor Centre

History will come to life as you experience events from both sides of the conflict and through the eyes of bystanders caught in the crossfire through electronic touch screens, video, audio visual booths, sound and authentic artefacts at The GPO Witness History Visitor Centre.

The General Post Office is the centrepiece of Dublin’s grandest ceremonial street – O’Connell Street. The GPO was designed by Francis Johnston in 1814. GPO Witness History has won numerous awards including the Micheletti Award at the European Museum Academy Awards (2017) and Best Cultural Experience at the Irish Tourism Industry Awards.
