Waterford Treasures' 500,000th visitor was welcomed last week amidst a fanfare of ticker tape when Barbara Silver-Cromwell of Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada walked through the doors of the Medieval Museum. Ms Silver-Cromwell received a commissioned piece of engraved crystal from the studio of the museum's resident glass engraver, Sean Egan.
Waterford’s Medieval Museum has made the latest TripAdvisor’s ‘Top 10′ list of Irish Museums in the Travellers’ Choice Awards.
