What to expect
Knock Museum, in County Mayo, captures the unique story of the Knock apparition of 1879. It profiles the fifteen ordinary people who witnessed an extraordinary event which saw the transformation of Knock, a small rural village in County Mayo, into an international Marian Shrine.
The museum also places the apparition in the context of life in 1879, from living in the thatched house to working in the forge. Other themes include the Knock Shrine Society of Volunteers, Monsignor James Horan, cures at the shrine and a unique collection of pilgrims’ personal memories and stories.
The museum café, Café Le Chéile, is open daily. Knock Museum is a fully accredited museum in the Museum Standards Programme for Ireland.
