Museum of Medieval Kilkenny (MOMK) Designated Activity Company has advertised a vacancy for Curator.
The Museum of Medieval Kilkenny is a planned new visitor attraction telling the story of Ireland’s medieval capital through an immersive experience of the people, characters, and stories of the time.
The project will incorporate the 400-year-old Tholsel (Town Hall) and the existing Medieval Mile Museum (in the 800-year-old St Mary’s Church) under a new unifying brand, creating a new attraction of scale, in a prominent location in the heart of Kilkenny City.
The Tholsel has been the centre of local administration for Kilkenny dating back to the 1200’s with many connected stories as to how the City was ruled in medieval and now modern times. The renovation will restore the Tholsel and protect this important building for years to come. The new attraction will be carefully differentiated from existing Kilkenny heritage attractions to broaden the offer of Kilkenny overall as a destination, using fun, humour and ‘horrible history’ style stories to appeal in particular to family groups.
