Cobh Museum is located in the former Scots Presbyterian Church on the High Road [the main road into Cobh] above the Heritage Centre.

Cobh Museum opened in 1973 and has grown over the years. The exhibitions reflect the cultural, social and maritime history of Cobh and the Great Island.

The museum is open to the public from April to October.

From November 2010 to April 2011 the museum is closed to public viewing, while the office remains open. Genealogy referral service available to visitors by appointment only.
