Sligo County Museum

Frommer's Review

In a 19th-century church mansion, this museum has quite a good exhibit related to Sligo's Stone Age history and archaeological finds in the area. Leaping forward centuries, another section is devoted to the Yeats family, with a display of William Butler Yeats's complete works in first editions, poems on broadsheets, letters, and his Nobel Prize for literature (1923). There's also a collection of oils, watercolors, and drawings by Jack B. Yeats (W.B. Yeats's brother) and John B. Yeats (William and Jack's father). There is a permanent collection of 20th-century Irish art, including works by Paul Henry and Evie Hone.
