Prayer Facilities

While the Hunt Museum does not have prayer facilities for Muslim visitors, the city of Limerick is known to have one mosque. Muslims visiting the Hunt Museum can therefore ask staff at the attraction to direct them to the Limerick Mosque when needed. They could also try to locate a secluded area outdoors to offer their prayers, if unable to reach the mosque in time.  

Halal Food

The Hunt Museum does house a café. While visitors will be able to find a wide selection of delicious snacks and refreshments here, Muslims visiting the museum will have to dine on suitable seafood and vegetarian dishes, since non-Halal ingredients are sure to be use. Muslim tourists will also be able to find at least one Halal restaurant in the city of Limerick.
