Irish Music Hall of Fame

The Irish Music Hall of Fame was a multimedia exhibition in Dublin, Ireland which operated between 1999 and 2001.[1] It recognised what it described as the best of Irish musical talent of all types over the decades.

Overview

Opened in 1999,[2] musician and singer Van Morrison was the first person to be inducted into the museum. The museum was a memorabilia-filled display telling the story of Irish music through personally donated merchandise from Irish musicians including Van Morrison, U2, Sinéad O'Connor, Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, The Undertones and Boyzone.

Operating for approximately 2 years, the museum closed in late 2001.[2][3][4]
