Tips from locals
Nicknamed the Dead Zoo - see some indigenous and other animals - skeletal and stuffed! Great treat for kids.
The "Dead Zoo" as known by Dubliners, beautiful old building, especially upstairs. The Museum's collection and building have changed little since Victorian times, and it is sometimes described as a "museum of a museum." Admission is free.
