Glasnevin Cemetery Museum

Dublin's Glasnevin Cemetery Museum, which opened in 1832, was voted Ireland's number one museum in the 2016 TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Awards and was previously named Best International Museum at the UK's Museum and Heritage Awards for Excellence. It was one of the first cemeteries to open after a prohibition prohibiting Irish Catholics from burying their dead in their own cemeteries was repealed. Political leader Daniel O'Connell, who battled to abolish the legislation, is now buried here, along with other well-known cultural and revolutionary icons including Michael Collins and Constance Markievicz. The 'Milestone Gallery' within the museum tells the lives of 200 persons who are buried here.

The Glasnevin Trust, in collaboration with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), began locating the graves of Irish servicemen who died while fighting in the Commonwealth forces during World Wars I and II in 2009. These names are engraved on two monuments that were rededicated and moved near the main entrance in 2011. In a joint Irish-British remembrance service, a Cross of Sacrifice was raised in the cemetery to honor the centennial of the First World War. As of July 2019, there are 215 Commonwealth military men buried here from both World Wars.
