Collins Barracks - National Museum of Ireland (Dublin)

Ireland / Dublin / Dublin
Collins Barracks (Irish: Dún Uí Choileáin) is a former military barracks in the Arbour Hill area of Dublin, Ireland. The buildings are now the National Museum of Ireland, Decorative Arts and History. Housing both British armed forces, and Irish army garrisons through three centuries, the barracks were the oldest continuously occupied example in the world.

Today the Collins Barracks is Dublins' newest national museum branch, Collins Barracks opened in the mid-1990s and houses decorative arts and a growing collection of other material, as well as the "live storage" where storage items can be viewed by the public.
