New lease of life: Dead Zoo Lab brings back beloved Natural History Museum collection
A new 'dead zoo' exhibition displaying objects from the Natural History Museum during its temporary closure has opened in Dublin. The famous Merrion Street museum, known colloquially as the Dead Zoo, closed in September for refurbishments likely to take several years. Its replacement exhibition, entitled the Dead Zoo Lab, has now opened at the National Museum in Collins Barracks. It has been designed to allow for ongoing changes to the displays, offering a broader range of the natural history collection over time. Approximately 1,300 objects will be on public display at any one time, including mammals, birds, geology, entomology, amphibians, reptiles and marine life. READ MORE Visitors can see some familiar favourites such as Spoticus the giraffe and the giant Irish deer. [ A buzz of discovery in the Dead Zoo Opens in new window ] 'The curators have done a huge amount of work on putting tons of stuff in the cases to actually make the diversity of the different animal groups come to life', natural history keeper Paolo Viscardi told The Irish Times. 'Really, that's the whole point of this space – it's to give us a bit of elbow room to try things out, to experiment, to change things around a little bit. But in the cases we get a chance to really bombard people with huge amounts of cool stuff.' Sadie Hanley (12) at the Dead Zoo Lab, Collins Barracks. Photograph: Mark Stedman For Emma Murphy, curator of terrestrial zoology at the Natural History Museum, the dodo is her favourite specimen on display. It is the first time in years that visitors can see the skeleton of the flightless bird which became extinct in the late 17th century. 'It was on permanent display on the balconies of Merrion Street which have been closed now since about 2007 and are going to be part of our major refurbishment,' Ms Murphy said. 'If you look closely at the skeleton, you'll be able to see that some parts are real and some parts are fake. So the real bone is made up of bones of different individuals that were found in kind of boggy marshland in Mauritius.' Other parts are made from wood. Additionally, a selection of delicate glass models from the Blaschka Glass Models of Marine Life is on display. The National Museum of Ireland has the world's largest collections of the models, created in the 19th century by German glass artists Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka. Some visitors to the Dead Zoo Lab on Tuesday had fond memories of visiting the Natural History Museum and welcomed the opportunity to bring their children and grandchildren to the new exhibition. Ivan McCarthy from Swords, Co Dublin, brought his grandchildren. Having taken his children to the Merrion Square version many many years ago, he hopes his grandchildren will 'do the same with their own kids in the future, and it'll keep going forever.' Muireann Banks was exploring the exhibition with her nephew Enzo (five). 'I came here as a child over in Merrion Square, so it's great to come in and have a look at all the animals,' she said. Dr Patrick Roycroft, curator of geology at the Natural History Museum, is particularly excited for visitors to see his case of zoned micas, one of the most common rock forming minerals in the world and 'the most extraordinary thing you're going to see mineralogically'. He wants 'everybody from seven-year-olds to professors of mineralogy to know that this exists and that there's a ton of stuff, information and wonder that you can get out of it both scientifically and visually.' Director of collections and access at the National Museum of Ireland, Dr Éimear O'Connor, said the new exhibition 'has been designed to promote and encourage collaboration with communities, artists and scientists, all of which will inform the interpretation of the natural history collections for the museum on Merrion Street when it reopens following the refurbishment and conservation works.' The National Museum of Ireland is open seven days a week and admission is free.

‘Didn't know we'd jumped into a car with a seven-time All-Ireland winner' – Ex-Dublin ace rescues Wexford Fleadh punters
There was somewhat of a similar vibe in Dublin over the weekend as there was in Wexford WEXFORD WAY 'Didn't know we'd jumped into a car with a seven-time All-Ireland winner' – Ex-Dublin ace rescues Wexford Fleadh punters EOGHAN O'GARA was often the super-sub during his playing days with Dublin and emerged as the late hero for two Wexford Fleadh punters. Brandon Cassidy and his pal told of how they had failed in their efforts to snag a taxi to Wexford Town - only for O'Gara to save the day. Advertisement 3 Their long weekend was aided by O'Gara who plays for Wexford club Shelmaliers these days Credit: @Cass05Brandon 3 The powerful target man previously lined out for Templeogue Synge Street 3 This year's trad music showpiece will run until August 10 Credit: @RTENationwide Brandon tweeted: "No taxis to be got in Wexford, thumbing a lift from Curracloe to Wexford Town for the Fleadh. "Chanced our arm with this man not knowing who he was, 10 minutes into the car journey he says his name. Didn't know we're after jumping into the car with seven-time All-Ireland winner. Gent!!" The lovely gesture was hailed by X users as a "fantastic story". Another Brandon replied: "Fantastic story. Enjoy the fleadh ceoil." While Robbie hailed: "That's what us Dubs are about, especially the southside Dubs, Eoghan is a gent & hasn't he also won a Wexford SF title with Shelmaliers?" Advertisement There were similar scenes of celebration back in the capital too as the Dublin ladies team walloped Meath in the All-Ireland final on Sunday. On Monday the team maintained a long-running tradition by visiting The Boar's Head with the Brendan Martin Cup. The All-Ireland winners in both the men's and women's game stop by the historic boozer with the trophy the day after the All-Ireland final each year. They posed for photos with countless supporters with even a few members of An Garda Siochana among them. Advertisement That specific pic was shared on the An Garda Siochana Dublin Facebook page. It was captioned: "The Dublin Senior Ladies Team paid a visit to Capel Street today in the Bridewell CEA and met with some local fans and business stakeholders. TJ Reid and wife Niamh de Brun's gorgeous pregnancy reveal "Our Community team were on hand to meet the ladies and enjoy the great atmosphere they brought with them." Paul Casey and Derek Murray's panel had a busy Bank Holiday Monday as they also brought the trophy to the Crumlin Children's Hospital. Advertisement It was meant to be an even more hectic schedule though, but the windy conditions from Storm Floris saw the official homecoming in Smithfield Square postponed until Tuesday evening. A Dublin City Council statement explained: "Due to Monday's strong winds the homecoming has been moved to the Tuesday rather than the day after the final which would be traditionally done. "Dublin City Council have organised the homecoming for 6pm on Tuesday in Smithfield Square." There will be music and face painting as well as the Brendan Martin Cup present at the event. Casey is delighted to get the chance to present the Cup in front of the Dublin fans. Advertisement When speaking to RTÉ, he outlined: "We're looking forward to getting a great crowd in Smithfield and giving the girls a reception they deserve." He added: "It's great to wake up this morning as All-Ireland champions. "A morning like this is special and tops off a day what was a great day yesterday. It's great, it's a fantastic privilege to come and see the kids in the hospital. "The morning after an All-Ireland is really nice to come here and see the smiles on their faces and all the different county jerseys."
