History
A museum for Clonmel was founded in the 1940s.[4] It opened on new premises on Mick Delahunty Square in 2000, and was renamed the South Tipperary County Museum soon after.[5] It was relaunched as the "Tipperary Museum of Hidden History" in October 2019 after a €500,000 upgrade.[6]
The museum was closed during the COVID-19 pandemic; it marked its reopening in 2021 with a CD of lost Mick Delahunty music from 1948.[7][8] In the same year, it received €15,000 in funding for the "Hidden Gems" exhibition.[9]
