The Hunt Museum is open Monday to Saturday from 10am till 5pm and Sunday and Bank holidays from 2pm till 5pm.

The Hunt Museum Winter Exhibition is held in association with University of Limerick’s Glucksman Library and allows visitors to gain an insight of Limerick in the sixteenth century  through maps and photography. 

The director of the Hunt Museum, Dr Hugh Maguire, says that the exhibition only shows a part of what is available to them but it is enough to excite the visitors of the Exhibition. “The available budget and the limitations of a gallery space only allow us a sampling of the beautiful imagery held in the region itself and in national collections including the National Library of Ireland and the National Gallery of Ireland. The exhibition especially celebrates the Norton, Leonard, MacAnally and Lysaght collections in our sister institution – the Glucksman Library at the University of Limerick with whom we are sharing this exhibition. Such collections as those accumulated by Fr. John Leonard highlight a deep affection for the city”.
