There are over one million stories buried in Glasnevin Cemetery, Gravediggers, Body Snatchers, Rebels and Revolutionaries, ordinary and extraordinary people. We want to share their stories with you. The secrets are in the stones.

Glasnevin Museum, operated by Glasnevin Trust, opened in April 2010. The award winning museum showcases the social, historical, political and artistic development of modern Ireland through the lives of the 1.5 million people buried in Glasnevin Cemetery – Ireland’s national necropolis. Glasnevin Cemetery was originally opened by the great ‘Liberator’, Daniel O’Connell, in 1832 for the purpose of burying ‘people of all religions and none’ with dignity.
