Cobh Museum is situated overlooking Cork Harbour. The exhibitions reflect the cultural, social, and maritime history of Cobh and the Great Island. Formerly known as Queenstown, Cobh has a long maritime history and is known throughout the world for its association with emigration and was the last port of call for the RMS Titanic.

There is a small genealogical reference section in the museum where visitors can do their own family research.

The museum is open daily to the public from April to October, while the office remains open all year.

A small admission fee is payable to support the upkeep of the museum.
