Meticulous research, precise modelling skills and state-of-the-art electronics combine to make the CityScope Exhibition one of the most exciting and imaginative portrayals of Ireland's colourful past. See the magnificence of Kilkenny at the height of its power in the middle of the 17th century. Recreate for yourself the everyday life, work and living pattern of a medieval city as you experience the unique sight, sound and light presentation based on an accurately-reconstructed scale model of Kilkenny in the year 1640. The exhibit is based in Kilkenny's historic Shee Alms House, which dates from 1582. It has been faithfully restored and now houses the Tourist Office, in addition to offering a living example of the medieval environment.
