The Cavan County Museum exhibition galleries feature unique artefacts dating from the stone age up until the twentieth century; material spanning over 6000 years of occupation in Cavan. Displays of notable interest include the Killycluggin stone and the three-faced Corleck Head, two of the most recognisable examples of Celtic spirituality in the country. The museum also houses a medieval Dug-Out boat and a selection of medieval Sheela-na-Gigs, as well as a Folk Life gallery depicting life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Newly-opened galleries deal with topics as diverse as the Great Famine, Percy French and the Lords Farnham. As a key artistic venue, its exhibition space plays host to visiting exhibitions, whilst the Eden Gallery is home to regular art shows by local and national artists.
