Om museet
The Michael Cusack Centre stands in Carran in the Burren, in County Clare, at the place where Michael Cusack, the founder of the Gaelic Athletic Association, was born. It presents the story of the man and of the beginnings of the GAA.
A glass wall in the exhibition building looks across the landscape to Cusack’s childhood home, a nineteenth-century herdsman’s cottage. The exhibition uses information panels, photographs, audio-visual presentations and a multimedia presentation with holographic projections of Michael Cusack himself.
Tours take in the Cusack Famine Cottage, the centre and the Púca and Fairy Trail, an outdoor trail themed on local folklore. A 6 km walking route, the Cusack Way, starts nearby, and the centre offers tours for school groups.
