The Guinness Museum is an often-used name for the Guinness Storehouse, Ireland’s number one visitor attraction. In 1966, Rupert Guinness, 2nd Lord Iveagh, fulfilled a long-held ambition of opening a Brewery Museum at St. James’s Gate, to display historical brewery artefacts. Located in the old Chemists’ Laboratory on Watling Street, the museum was built to ‘showcase mementoes of Brewery life’. In its lifespan the Guinness Museum welcomed 10,000 visitors. The Guinness Storehouse carried on the tradition and to date has welcomed over 20 million visitors from around the world.
We regularly get people asking this question. If you have an old Guinness bottle or can at home, we recommend you keep it as a souvenir – but don’t drink any Guinness product that is past its sell by date. If you would like to know more about your Guinness bottle you can contact the Guinness Archive and our team there will be happy to tell you more about its origins. The Guinness Archive has a large collection of Guinness bottles, cans, and labels, many of which are on display at the Guinness Storehouse.
We do not provide valuations of old Guinness products, but we can assist in verifying their authenticity. For valuations, we recommend that you contact your local antique specialist or contact the independently run Guinness Collectors Club which provides memorabilia valuations for a fee. You can find them by visiting www.guinntiques.com.
The Guinness Storehouse tour provides lots of information on the history of Guinness. But if you are interested in finding out more, please take a look at the Guinness Archive pages, where you will find further information and can view images from the Guinness Archive collection.
Researcher access to the Guinness Archive may be arranged in advance by appointment. Please contact the Guinness Archive team for more information.
