The Irish Music Hall of Fame was a multimedia exhibition in Dublin, Ireland which operated between 1999 and 2001.[1] It recognised what it described as the best of Irish musical talent of all types over the decades.[citation needed]
Overview[]
Opened in 1999,[2] musician and singer Van Morrison was the first person to be inducted into the museum. The museum was a memorabilia-filled display telling the story of Irish music through personally donated merchandise from Irish musicians including Van Morrison, U2, Sinéad O'Connor, Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, The Undertones and Boyzone.[citation needed]
Operating for approximately 2 years, the museum closed in late 2001.[2][3][4]
