Galway’s so-called hidden museum is tucked away in the south-east corner of the National University of Ireland, Galway, at the end of a staircase. It’s funded by the Department of Earth & Ocean Sciences (EOS) and has some 15,000 rocks, minerals and specimens from around the globe. The University was built in 1849, and the Museum’s collection mainly relates to William King’s 1850 Monograph, the Permian Fossils of England, with other exhibits coming from the Eleanor Miles Collection. Others displays cover the geological history of Ireland’s West.
