The Little Museum of Dublin is to return to its home on St Stephen's Green after a €4.3 million renovation.

The doors of the Georgian building are set to reopen in early June.

The museum is currently in a temporary location on Pembroke Street, which will close on 25 May.

The museum opened in 2011

The operators of the attraction said that its "historic townhouse has been transformed" and "visitors can look forward to expanded and reimagined exhibition spaces" as well as "an enriched collection of artefacts donated by the people of Dublin".

The renovation work was part-funded by Fáilte Ireland, along with the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Dublin City Council, and corporate and individual donors.
