The collection of Waterford Treasures Museums includes The Bishop’s Palace, National Museum of Time, The Irish Silver Museum, Medieval Museum, Reginald’s Tower and The Viking Experience. The 70-acre Mount Congreve Gardens are currently undergoing extensive re-development works and a brand new visitor experience is set to be unveiled there, later this year.
