National Maririme Museum of Ireland

As I entered the Church I was in the rear I looked forward and found the beautiful stained glass windows. There was a beacon from one of the nearby lighthouse's history.	I then walked forward to the Alter area and saw a very busy floor area and again a beautiful stainded glass window. Where the puews were origionally located was now the Museum.
I knew that I was in a Muesum but my because of my past history I was a little surprised. I had grewnup in a Church, Dad was a minister, and have visited many Churches throughout the years. I knew ahead of time that this Church had been converted into a museum and I was glad to see that this was done so that it still retained the features of a Church both outside and inside. Still when entering the museum I initially fell back into looking at the origional Church first. I first started to walk around looking at the great museum but taking photos mainly of the Old Miners Church. When building this Web Page I discovered that there were very few photos of the Museum.
