Most museums collect and store information about real historical events, people, eras. But there are museums dedicated not to existing objects, but to ideas that have become famous and conquered the world.

Ireland is a unique country: religious people live here, respecting traditions and living in a centuries-old paradigm of values. Despite the fact that almost the entire history of this people is woven from wars and battles, they managed to build cathedrals and build temples.

One of these traces was the Cathedral of Christ in Dublin, which was built in the XI century by the leader of the Vikings. This place is unique, it had to go through a lot: destruction and restoration, the struggle with another cathedral for primacy, belonging to different religions - all this makes it an invaluable monument of culture, religion and architecture.
