The museum was built in 1856 for parts of the collection of the Royal Dublin Society and the building and collection were later passed to the State. The Museum’s collection and building have changed little since Victorian times, and it is sometimes described as a “museum of a museum” or a “stately home of death.” Admission is free. Attendance grew from 106 thousand in 2007 to over 336 thousand in 2017, despite staff shortages and closed sections.
