The story of Guinness is a living one. It is one that started with such optimism that its founder, Arthur Guinness, signed a 9,000-year lease on St. James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin.
The Guinness Archive tells the stories of its founders, its people and the brand. The team collects, preserves, and makes accessible rich records and artefacts from 1759 to the present day. The collections are used by a broad range of people with diverse interests, including marketing communities, economic and brewing historians, local historians, collectors, and family history researchers.
Address: Guinness Storehouse, St. James's Gate, Dublin 8, D08 VF8H
Ireland’s National Maritime Museum is housed in Dun Laoghaire’s 180-year-old Mariner's Church, directly opposite the new DLR Lexicon library and easily accessible by DART suburban train and several bus services.
The museum’s greatest artefact is probably the building itself, as it is one of a few custom-built places of worship for seafarers remaining intact in the world today.
