Join us in the Dead Zoo Lab at the National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks on Friday, 10th April from 12:00PM – 1:30PM for an exciting opportunity to meet author Peter Donnelly of ‘The Dead Zoo’ series. 

Peter will do a short reading of ‘The Dead Zoo’ and share how the story came to life. Find yourself surrounded by some of the most popular specimens from the natural history collection which inspired the book (including some specimens that haven’t been on display for many years!) while the Natural History Museum on Merrion Street is closed for much needed conservation and refurbishment works.

After the presentation, Peter will be signing all his books, so be sure to bring yours along! While on site, please enjoy the chance to explore the galleries and relax at our Synge & Byrne café.
All attendees can take advantage of a 20% discount on all Dead Zoo Lab merchandise and other store offerings in-store at Collins Barracks.

Event is free to attend but tickets are required. Book your ticket below.
