The National Museum of Ireland \u2013 Archaeology is a branch of the National Museum of Ireland that specialises in Irish and other antiquities dating from the Stone Age to the Late Middle Ages. The museum was established under the Science and Art Museum Act of 1877.<\/p>\n

The museum\u2019s collection contains artifacts from prehistoric Ireland including bog bodies, Iron and Bronze Age objects, such as axe-heads, swords and shields in bronze, silver and gold, with the earliest dated to c. 7000 BC. It holds the world\u2019s most substantial collection of post-Roman era Irish medieval art (known as Insular art).<\/p>\n
