The Hunt Museum is a museum in the city of Limerick, Ireland. Holding a personal collection donated by the Hunt family, it was originally situated in the University of Limerick, before being moved to its present location. It can now be visited in the old custom house, an historic 18th century building by the River Shannon. Limerick's bustling quays began at this area of the river, recently made home to a marina.
The Hunt Museum hold about 2000 different artifacts, both from Ireland and abroad. The oldest pieces are from stone-age Ireland and ancient Egypt. The collection includes the Antrim Cross, a small sketch by Picasso and a bronze horse from a design by Leonardo da Vinci for a large monument.
