The Natural History Museum features huge gallery of animals from Ireland and overseas.

The Natural History Museum is the museum of museums is famous for its Victorian cabinet style, which houses one of the world’s finest and fullest collections’ still to be seen today. Two million species, of which roughly half are insects, live side by side with, appropriately for a natural history museum, decorated and sculptured panels depicting mythological figures.

This zoological museum encompasses outstanding examples of wildlife from Ireland and the far corners of the globe, some to be seen today and others long extinct.

Recently re-opened to the public after extensive restoration, the natural history is well worth a visit!
