"The Science Gallery—where “science and art collide”—is a dynamic, ever-changing space that's continually devising interesting themes and installations. There’s no such thing as a permanent collection here; rather, the gallery gets an overhaul every few months. As for the exhibitions themselves: They've ranged from "FAKE" (exploring falsities, from biomimicry to forged documents) to "In Case of Emergency" (a look at how the world might end—and why humankind loves to think about it)."

"The Science Gallery is fast becoming one of the top ten free cultural attractions in Ireland. Unlike most galleries, they don't have a permanent collection. This means that there is always something new to see, but it also means that between exhibitions (which can be a gap of up to three weeks), only the shop and café remain open."

"A corner of Trinity College was transformed into a space that encourages science and art to collide. The ever-changing exhibition currently focuses on contagion and biomimicry. Its aim is to allow visitors to “facilitate social connections, always providing an element of surprise."

"Of all Dublin’s free museums and galleries, the National Museum of Ireland is by far the largest, encompassing four separate museums. They include the National Museum of Archaeology on Kildare Street, the Decorative Arts & History Museum at Collins Barracks, and the Natural History Museum at Merrion Square, as well as the Country Life Museum located in Turlough, Co."

"The National Museum of Natural History is a relatively small museum, but not at all less important than other museums in Dublin. The fossils and stuffed bodies of animals and birds are great for your education of animals. RELATED READ:The Most Beautiful Towns In Cork To Visit"
