Coming Soon to Waterford Treasures: The Irish Museum of Time!
Waterford Treasures is building on the success of its work in the Viking Triangle, the city’s museum quarter, by adding the most unique offering yet – The Irish Museum of Time.
Time can be wasted, kept, saved, spent, killed, lost and longed for, and the history and science of time has both fascinated and captivated human beings for millennia; being at once a mystery, and yet vital to our survival as a species. From the first recorded date in history of 4236 BC to the present day, our lives, our stories and our cultures have been shaped by the passing of seconds, hours and years.
Made possible through two incredible and generous donations of museum-quality timepieces from Ireland and around the world, the museum will explore the science of time and the 5000 year story of how time was measured and recorded in Ireland and across the world.

Waterford City is the capital of the Sunny South East of Ireland and Ireland's oldest city.
Viking raiders first established a settlement near Waterford in 853AD. It and all the other longphorts were vacated in 902, the Vikings having been driven out by the native Irish. The Vikings re-established themselves in Ireland at Waterford in 914, led at first by Ottir Iarla (Jarl Ottar) until 917, and after that by Ragnall ua Ímair and the Uí Ímair dynasty, and built what would be Ireland's first city. Among the most prominent rulers of Waterford was Ivar (The Boneless) of Waterford.
In 1167, Diarmait Mac Murchadha, the deposed King of Leinster, failed in an attempt to take Waterford. He returned in 1170 with Cambro-Norman mercenaries under Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke (known as Strongbow); together they besieged and took the city after a desperate defence. In furtherance of the Norman invasion of Ireland, King Henry II of England landed at Waterford in 1171. Waterford and then Dublin were declared royal cities, with Dublin also declared capital of Ireland.
Throughout the medieval period, Waterford was Ireland's second city after Dublin. In the 15th century Waterford repelled two pretenders to the English throne: Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck. As a result, King Henry VII gave the city its motto: Urbs Intacta Manet Waterfordia (Waterford remains the untaken city).
After the Protestant Reformation, Waterford remained a Catholic city and participated in the confederation of Kilkenny -- an independent Catholic government from 1642 to 1649. This was ended abruptly by Oliver Cromwell, who brought the country back under English rule; his nephew Henry Ireton finally took Waterford in 1650 after a major siege.
The 18th century was a period of huge prosperity for Waterford. Most of the city's best architecture appeared during this time. In the 19th century, great industries such as glass making and ship building thrived in the city.
The city hosts a number of festivals during the year including the ever-popular Spraoi.
A natural playground for Arts, Golf, Water Sports, Equestrian, Walking, Angling and Cycling enthusiasts, Waterford City and County offer the complete holiday experience.
Waterford City was founded by Viking traders in 914 and it has an exciting medieval flavour and riverside bustle.
The Waterford Museum of Treasures tells the 1100-year-story of Waterford from the treasures of Viking Waterford at Reginald's Tower, the oldest civic urban building in Ireland, to the story of Georgian Waterford at the Bishop's Palace from 1700 to 1970.
Waterford City is the home of Waterford Crystal, a lifestyle product of exquisite craftsmanship. A visit to the House of Crystal visitor centre includes an opportunity to choose from the world's largest selection of Waterford Crystal. The factory tour offers first hand access to all areas of traditional crystal production.
The city has a strong maritime tradition and an estimated 500,000 people enjoyed the colourful spectacle of the 2011 Tall Ships Race and festival of music and culture in the city and along the river Suir Estuary to Dunmore East.
