The Natural History Museum, founded in 1857, is quaint and delightful. It houses a collection of animals from all over the world, some now extinct. The building itself, faced in granite, is designed to harmonize with the National Gallery on the other side of Leinster House. Personal favorites are the rabbits and hares, the grizzly bear, the basking shark and the giant Irish elk. Anyone interested in fishing will love these exhibits. Guided tours available. There’s a book and gift shop.
The Natural History Museum is part of the National Museum, which has three branches. You can travel between the three branches on the Museumlink bus, for a small charge. Tickets are sold in the museums. Service hourly, Monday-Saturday, 8 am-5:30 pm, Sundays, 1-5 pm.
