The Cork Public Museum (CPM) we see today is a product of 75 years of skilful curation, collection of Cork’s treasures and passion for shared heritage. This exhibition is carefully designed to allow you to explore CPM's development across the years as well as take a look at their unique curators and some of the diverse objects in their care.
