Taoiseach Enda Kenny officially opened the new Medieval Museum in Waterford City today. The opening was attended by over 300 people, including the Mayor of Waterford, Cllr. Jim D’Arcy; Senator Maurice Cummins, Leader of Seanad Eireann; Waterford City Manager, Michael Walsh and Frank O’Regan, Chairman of the Board of the Waterford Museum of Treasures.

The Medieval Museum sits at the heart of the Viking Triangle, Waterford City’s cultural and historic quarter, and this opening completes the trilogy of museums that include Reginald’s Tower and the Bishop’s Palace and is the last in the complex of museums that trace the history and archaeology of Waterford from its foundations by Viking pirates in 914 up to the present day.
