Word Count: 459 For tourists who are history inclined, the National Museum of Ireland is the
perfect destination. The museum is divided into three categories:
Archaeological, Decorative Arts and History and Natural History. Each division
has history attractions of their own. They each have their unique tourist
appeal.
The Archaeological Division
The Archaeological division of the National Museum of Ireland can be found on
Kildare Street. It gives the visitors a feel of the historical Dublin. The
museum was opened in 1890. It displays several archaeological collections dating
as old as 7000 BC. Its collection includes Celtic and Medieval Arts, prehistoric
gold artefacts, Kingship and Sacrifice Exhibition and many more.
The visiting schedule of the National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology is from
Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and on Sunday from 2 pm to 5 pm. This is
the same schedule for the rest of the museum divisions.
Decorative Arts And History Division
The museum was once the Collins Barracks. The latter was renovated and
refurbished to become the home of Ireland’s economic, social, political, and
military museum. The Decorative Arts and History Division house several
artefacts that depict the different aspects of Ireland’s history.
On display in the museum are silver, ceramic and glassware pieces, weapons,
furniture and even Irish costumes. There is also the Military History exhibition
wherein some of the military artefacts, original letters, and replicas are on
display. The exhibit also shows how the wars have affected the lives of the
Irish people.
Natural History Division
The Natural History division houses about two million species. Most of the ones
on display are insects. The museum was opened in 1857 in Merrion Street. It also
displays wildlife species from Ireland and some parts of the world. Some of them
are already extinct species.
In this museum, visitors will be awed at the wonders of the natural world. There
are species which you think don’t exist but they do. The displays are enough to
educate and amuse the visitors. After a visit to the National Museum of Ireland
– Natural History Division, you will be able to appreciate more the complexity
and beauty of the natural world.
The three divisions of the National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology, Decorative
Arts and History, and Natural History all proves, once and for all, how rich and
colourful Ireland’s history and culture are. They serve as the connection of
Ireland’s past to present.
