Explore: The Dead Zoo

A group gathered around the taxidermy walrus

Join us as we take you inside the Dead Zoo to see the Bengal tiger, walrus and giant deer and then explore by yourselves with the 3D Virtual Visit.

This online video was created by the Education Department at NMI – Natural History in May 2022 to accompany “Zoom Ahead with Books” – a virtual book club organised by the Early Learning Initiative, a community based programme at the National College of Ireland.

The read for the virtual book club that month was The Dead Zoo by Peter Donnelly.


Inside the Dead Zoo

Please note this video was originally published on 5 May 2022, during the NMI - Natural History's closure. For up to date information on the Museum check our "Visit Us" Page.
