Frommer's Review
The Armagh museum is in a building that looks like a diminutive Greek temple. Its collection documents local life across the millennia, and ranges from prehistoric ax heads to wedding dresses to a grim cast-iron skull that once rested atop the Armagh gallows. In addition to natural history specimens and folklore items, the museum also has an art collection, with works by George Russell and John Luke, as well as maps, photographs, and a research library.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
