We’re delighted to welcome you to MoLI.

For directions and transport options, please see our Where’s MoLI? page.

Let’s stay safe together! In line with Irish government guidelines, our priority is to keep you safe while you have a relaxed and well-deserved visit to the museum.

What we are doing to keep you safe

• Large, well-ventilated, open rooms At MoLI we are lucky to have many beautiful large, open rooms, allowing you to socially distance without difficulty. Make sure to follow the designated route through the exhibitions, and feel free to visit the gardens, shop and café while you’re here.
• Hand-sanitation Visitors are required to sanitise their hands at the museum entry and exit, and at least once throughout their visit. There are many hand-sanitising stations throughout the museum, and staff on hand to answer questions.
• General safety measures  We have implemented additional safety measures in line with Government guidelines, including:
  • Protective perspex screens at all ticket/shop desks.
  • Contactless payment where possible.
  • Increased cleaning schedules keep our physical environment safe.

Our Facilities

• There is a buggy storage area on the ground floor, under the stairs beside the toilets. This area is not supervised and buggies are left at owners’ discretion.
• Baby changing facilities are in the accessible toilet on the ground floor.
• We do not have a cloakroom or locker facility in use in MoLI at this time.
