This photo was recently discovered in the collection. It was taken some time after the Moyne Institute was built (1953) but before the Berkeley Library (1967).
The angle is slightly different, but it may well be related to the 1957 photograph which was used to recruit architects for the design of the Berkeley: https://www.tcd.ie/library/berkeley/5-when-all-this-was-fields/#more-115
We had a great time this Culture Night, and hope our visitors did as well. About 155 visitors showed up, despite some navigational challenges – we did our best with chalk, but next time we might invest in a large signpost.
We had some puzzles and a scavenger hunt available – many of those are free to download from geoschol.com.
Thanks to everyone who came along!
Join us at the Trinity Geological Museum for Culture Night!
The ‘Story of the Earth’ exhibition highlights the geological evolution of the planet, with displays of rocks, minerals and fossils. Discover some of the museum’s hidden treasures, retrieved from storage for the occasion – including Ichthyosaur bones, fossil fish, volcanic rocks and beautiful minerals. Come see the Attenborosaurus, named after Sir David Attenborough!
When: Friday, September 20th 2019, 4PM-9PM
Where: The Trinity Geological Museum is currently located at the Trinity Technology and Enterprise Center (TTEC) and can be accessed from Macken Street.
Welcome to the Trinity Geological Museum page! The aim of this site is to bring some of our specimens and displays to a wider audience, as we are not currently open on a daily basis. As we work through cataloguing and inventory we will highlight some of our discoveries on this page, so we hope that you follow along.
