The unique 14th Century Cross of Clogher and the fine collection of early medieval crannog (lake dwelling) artefacts are among the best items in the Museum. In 1980, Monag han County Museum received a major international distinction, winning the Council of Europe Museum Prize. In 1993, it also won the Gulbenkian/Norwich Union Best Collections Care Award.
