"The National Museum of Ireland is charged with preserving and making accessible the portable, natural and cultural material heritage of Ireland while responsible for communicating to both the people of Ireland and visitors an understanding of our heritage. The museum also serves to deepen cultural ties both within Ireland and with other countries as well as opening a window on the world’s material heritage through which Irish people may appreciate their own culture in its European and global context.
The origins of the National Museum of Ireland lie with the enactment of The Dublin Science and Art Museum Act of 1877. This led the transfer of the buildings (Leinster House and the then new Natural History building) and collections of the Royal Dublin Society (RDS) to state ownership. These were further enhanced by the transfer of other notable collections from institutions such as the Royal Irish Academy and Trinity College Dublin."
