Pictures from the Leprechaun Museum - Opens In Time for St Patrick's Day

Based in the heart of Dublin city, in Eire, the National Leprechaun Museum is a national cultural entertainment centre that takes visitors deeper into Irish and Celtic culture to discover what really lies behind the well-known tales of Irish cultural iconography - leprechauns, rainbows and pots of gold. The National Leprechaun Museum is the first ever visitor attraction dedicated to Irish mythology and promises to open up a fun and magical world full of fascinating folklore and enchanting stories. Visitors to the museum are encouraged to feel what it's like to journey deep beneath the rocks of the Giant's Causeway, open up their minds to the sights and stories of Ireland's mythical otherworld on a trip to fairy hill, experience what it's like to live in a leprechaun-sized world and journey to the end of the rainbow to see if the elusive crock of gold really exists. The museum initially employs eight people. The museum's director and creator, Tom O'Rahilly informed Will and Guy that, 'The National Leprechaun Museum is a first; nothing like it exists anywhere else in the world. Irish culture is famous the world over - even Walt Disney came to Ireland to look for leprechauns.' Opened March 2010: http://www.leprechaunmuseum.ie/
