Bang in the heart of Dublin’s cultural quarter Temple Bar, the experience encompasses all things related to the vibrant Irish music industry over the past 30 years. We give visitors a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes of a real life working music venue & recording facilities. 

The Irish Rock n’ Roll Museum Experience will explore the development of Irish Rock music presented against the intriguing historic backdrop of the area, and its people’s need for a creative space to make, rehearse and perform music.

Tracing Irish Rock and the Irish music scene, from the 1970’s to the present day, the experience features stories revolving around an eclectic range of both Irish and international artists such as The Pogues, The Frames, U2, Thin Lizzy and Sinead O’Connor. Developing from furious passion, humble beginnings and the dilapidated rooms of Temple Lane Rehearsals into the Temple Bar Music Centre and the Temple Bar Cultural Trust – this immersive experience will encompass the complete history of the area’s people, energy, personality, growth and progress.

Visitors will receive an access all areas pass with a ticket to explore backstage at the renowned Button Factory venue, behind the Wall of Fame and to the recording studios where Glen Hansard’s Oscar Award–winning film Once was filmed and where the likes of Christy Moore, Rihanna, Will.I.Am and The Script have recorded.
