The Quiet Man Museum

About

The Quiet Man Museum is a must for Quiet Man enthusiasts. Guided walking and chauffeur tours of The Quiet Man film locations depart daily from The Quiet Man Museum. The tours bring film buffs to the original film locations and visitors hear what the film stars were like, how they interacted with the locals and what happened when Hollywood took over the sleepy village of Cong in 1951. The Quiet Man Museum is an exact replica of the exterior of White O’Morn, the ancestral cottage bought by Sean Thornton on his return to Ireland, as the original White O’Morn cottage is unfortunately now in ruin. The Museum is also an exact replica of the White O’Morn interior, which was a Hollywood set. The Quiet Man Museum is transformed into a cinema in the evenings for intimate screenings of The Quiet Man on a large screen, and screenings of a fantastic documentary called John Ford: Dreaming The Quiet Man featuring Maureen O'Hara. The Quiet Man Museum is open from 1 April to 31 October annually.
