Join us in the Dead Zoo Lab this National Biodiversity Week for a special drop-in event to meet the community curators behind Our Irish Natural History exhibition.  

Join our community curators to find out about their featured specimens, why they were selected for display in the Our Irish Natural History exhibition, and the biodiversity work they are undertaking in their local areas. With members of the Irish Community Archive Network: Clarecastle & Ballyea Heritage & Wildlife Group, Co. Clare; Milltown Heritage Group, Co. Galway; Louisburgh-Killeen Heritage Group, Co. Mayo and Glendalough Heritage Forum, Co. Wicklow.
