Permanent Exhibition (Temporarily closed)
Asgard: From Gun-Running to Recent Conservation
Temporarily Closed
We regret that the Asgard exhibition is temporarily closed from Monday 15th to Friday 19th April.
From her building in 1905 by Colin Archer, the celebrated Norwegian naval architect, to her pivotal role in the 1914 Howth gun-running and her later use as Ireland’s first national sail-training vessel, the yacht has had many incarnations.
Since August 2012 the Asgard has been on display in Collins Barracks. She stands as a monument to the skill of both the original builders and the conservation team, as well as a reminder of the turbulent events of 1914.
