One of Dublin's hidden gems is the General Post Office on O'Connell Street. A grand, Georgian building in itself, it was also the headquarters for the rebel leaders during the 1916 Easter Rising!
Walk by to marvel at the architecture (and look for the bullet holes still visible in its columns!) or step inside to the GPO Museum: Witness History Exhibit. The exhibit is an interactive, immersive experience around the 1916 Easter Rising and Modern Irish History. You'll gain a greater understanding of both of the events of the Rising as well as how the city of Dublin has changed throughout the years.
The museum is open Wednesday to Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, in July, August & September from Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. The last admission is at 4:00 pm.
Tickets are available online and best purchased in advance.
