Our Collections

Archaeology Artifacts are usually found buried in the ground. They allow us to learn about the language, religion and values of people based on what they left behind.

Industry Although County Carlow remains predominately agricultural based, it has had many local and national industries that have played important roles in providing employment as well as producing innovative and new products over the last century.

Personalities Reflect on the many achievements of Carlow people and their descendants who have made significant contributions to local, national and international life.

Transport Harbouring a wealth of wildlife, the River Barrow bears boats and barges along navigable waterways past riverside villages and through Victorian locks.
