The National Museum of Agriculture and Rural Life is located in historic farm buildings, dating from 1810, within the extensive, ornamental grounds of Johnstown Castle, County Wexford.

Major themes covered by the museum include: tools and machines of Irish farming form 1750 to 1950; Irish dairying; rural transport; farmhouse furniture (120 pieces on display); and rural crafts (blacksmith, wheelwright/carpenter, cooper, harness maker, basket maker and a thatcher).

There is also a major Famine Exhibition, covering the history of the potato and the great disaster of the 1840s.

During 2002, a permanent exhibition on Harry Ferguson, born in Co. Down, and his ‘Ferguson System’ was opened. Another new feature is full-scale replicas of farmhouse kitchens depicting life in 1800, 1900 and 1950.
