The story of the capital in Dublin's City Hall is an exciting multimedia exhibition tracing the history of Dublin City. It tells of the city's founding; from Viking times, through prosperity and oppression, into the unique and vibrant city of today. City treasures, from the Lord Mayor's Chain to the original city seal are displayed together with medieval manuscripts, period costumes and modern art.
City Hall itself is a spectacular piece of neo-classical architecture, designed by Thomas Cooley and built as the Royal Exchange for a prosperous merchant population between 1769 and 1779.
