Description
The
Cork Butter Museum is a unique institution, celebrating one of the
great success stories of Ireland, the butter trade. Located in the
historic Shandon area of Cork city, the story begins with the central
role of dairy culture in the Island of Saints and Scholars. The Museum
goes on to describe the internationally important Butter Exchange in
nineteenth century Cork, the traditional craft of home butter making and
the modern success of the Kerrygold brand. In the course of this story,
the commercial, social, and domestic life of Ireland is recalled. Opening hours
