Group Visits

Self-Guided Groups can now request visits to the NMI - Decorative Arts & History here

Please direct any queries to the Bookings Office at bookings@museum.ie

All groups visiting the Museum must receive a ticket and confirmation from the Bookings Office, as groups that attend without booking may be refused entry.
