Stepping inside visitors are taken back in time to the 19th century.
Wandering through the wings of the Gaol, the atmosphere suggests
you are accompanied by the shuffling feet of inmates, each
representing their particular period in Irish history from pre-famine
times to the foundation of the State. The cells are furnished with
amazingly life-like wax figures; original graffiti on cell walls tell the
innermost feelings of some inmates while a very spectacular audio
visual tells the social history and contrasting lifestyles of 19th c.Cork
and why some people turned to crime, and some ended up in Australia.
This exhibition fascinates visitors of all ages and nationalities and
the tour is available in up to 13 languages
Radio Museum
At the same location and uniquely situated in the former Governor’s
House, is the Radio Museum Experience incorporating the restored
6CK Radio Broadcasting Studio. In addition to an audio visual on
Marconi – and particularly his Irish connections, there is a wonderful
collection of artefacts, including the RTE Collection, providing a
nostalgic trip back to the early days of radio.
