The Natural History Museum has temporarily relocated to Collins Barracks during renovations of its Merrion Street site. The new exhibition space, called the Dead Zoo Lab, features approximately 1,300 specimens, including a notable 18-foot giraffe named Spoticus, who has been deceased since the 1950s. The sight of standing next to Spoticus creates a feeling of awe and curiosity. This temporary exhibition aims to maintain public interest in natural history while the main museum is closed for improvements.
