Situated in Knock Shrine Grounds of County Mayo, Knock Museum captures the distinctive tale of the Knock Apparition that occurred in 1897. The museum with its exhibition describes the fifteen ordinary people who witnessed the occurrence of this astonishing event and who at present are pilgrims. The Knock Museum displays the life of people in that period, which includes people living in the thatched cottage or working in the forge.
Knock Museum has given importance to the life of the late Monsignor James Horan, apart from the development of Knock shrine.
