Trinity College Zoological Museum

The Zoological Museum of Dublin is located on the Trinity College campus. It is a 250-year-old collection of skeletons and animal models from Ireland and other parts of the world. It is available to tourists only during the holidays.

The museum has been operating since the mid-18th century. So far, about 250,000 exhibits showing the zoological diversity of the Earth have been collected here. The most important elements of the exhibition are the skeleton of an elephant, the huge jaws of a man-eating shark and the skeleton of a gavial. The museum also has an extraordinary collection of glass models of sea animals in its collection. They were made in the 19th century by Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka. During the summer holidays, the museum organizes a guided tour of the exhibition. There are also workshops and thematic lectures.
