The Irish Antiquities Division manages access to the collections, including related library and archives, housed in the National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology, Kildare Street, Dublin 2 and across a number of offsite stores. Please contact the Irish Antiquities Division Duty Officer in advance of your visit to make an appointment. If visiting for the first time, you must also complete an application form in order to consult the curatorial files or collections. This form is available from the Irish Antiquities Division Duty Officer.

Please be aware that very specific requests may require particular members of staff to be on hand, so the earlier you make a request the more likely it is that we will be able to meet your expectations. Please also note that our collections are spread across a number of sites and access will depend on staff availability.
