This branch of the National Museum of Ireland displays an extensive collection of the natural zoological history of Ireland, located on Merrion Street. Opened in 1857, the Natural History Museum showcases a fantastic zoological collection of stuffed animals, from small animals to whales.
The skeletons and exhibits of the animals are centuries old, with those native to Ireland being displayed on the ground floor of the museum. A striking skeleton is that of the basking shark, hanging from the ceiling. The other floors and galleries are dedicated to specific types of species, such as mammals, birds and marine specimens from all over the world.
