This is an amazing museum and was a highlight of our trip. More

The Natural History Museum wasn't very big. Certainly nothing like the Smithsonian. And some of the displays have seen better days. Otherwise, this was an interesting museum. The first floor is animals, birds and sea life native to Ireland. More
