Behind the scenes at Dublin's Dead Zoo. Unofficial account, run for fun. Opinions are personal, not those of the National Museum of Ireland.

Hello from the best natural history gallery in the world. 🤩 The gallery of comparative anatomy at #Paris' National Museum of Natural History contains literally thousands of skeletal specimens. In my opinion, it has never been surpassed. #museums

Wishing everyone a Happy 2025 from the Dead Zoo! A new account for a new year - and we have a lot to share from our big decant project, as we prepare for our major building project to improve access and the environmental conditions in our 1856 building.
