Description
On Dublin's Upper Merrion Street we come to the Natural History Museum, which has a large collection displaying the fauna of Ireland (including skeletons of prehistoric animals). It also contains the Blashka Collection (glass models of marine creatures). Opposite the museum, at No. 24, is the house in which the Duke of Wellington was born.
