Catch a leprechaun on Jervis Street

What’s that at the end of the rainbow?


What’s that at the end of the rainbow?

Why it’s the new National Leprechaun Museum on Dublin’s Jervis Street (the world’s first, apparently), which promises to take people, little and otherwise, on a journey through Irish and Celtic mythology, imparting such gold nuggets as the first known sighting of a leprechaun in the eighth century (Guinness really was good back then, wasn’t it?) and exploring modern representations of the feisty little otherworld denizens in film and popular culture. The museum (pictured) is structured like a fairy tale, with 12 individual chapters dedicated to different aspects of leprechaun lore. Tickets are €10 adults, €7 for ages five to 16, or €27 for two adults and two kids (price includes a leprechaun coin, worth €3, which may be kept or spent in the souvenir shop).
