Hunt Museum

The Hunt Museum is an Irish museum located near Limerick. The Hunt Museum, which houses a personal collection provided by the Hunt family, was once housed at the University of Limerick until being relocated to its current home in Limerick's Georgian custom house in 1997. The Custom House is located on Rutland Street, near the junction of the Shannon and the Abbey Rivers. Works by prominent artists and designers like Pablo Picasso, Jack B. Yeats, and Sybil Connolly, as well as unique historical relics like the O'Dea Mitre and Crozier, are among the museum's collections.

The Hunt Museum has over 2,500 items from Ireland and beyond. Stone Age Ireland and ancient Egypt have the earliest fragments. The Antrim Cross (an early 9th-century cast bronze and enamel cross), costumes by Irish designer Sybil Connolly, Picasso paintings, and a bronze horse originally supposed to be a design by Leonardo da Vinci for a massive monument are among the items in the collection. Although the bronze horse resembles the Budapest horse, its authenticity was questioned in 2009. Some of the Hunt collection is also on display in Craggaunowen in County Clare, where John and Gertrude Hunt also made significant contributions.
