Geocache Description:

A micro cache in Collins Barracks, Dublin


Collins Barracks 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.

Originally called simply The Barracks, and later The Royal Barracks, the name was changed to Collins Barracks when handed over to the Irish Free State in 1922.

Built in 1702, and further extended in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the complex's main buildings are neo-classical in style. Since 1997 the barracks have been home to collections of the National Museum of Ireland (for Decorative Arts and History exhibits), and the original structures have seen some award winning redevelopment and conservation work to support this new role.

The museum faces the Luas tram "red line" (Museum stop), a Memorial Garden at Croppies Acre marking the 1798 rebellion, and the River Liffey.


Please note the museum opening hours - I don't think you will be able to find the cache outside of these hours -

Monday: Closed
Tuesday - Saturday: 10am - 5pm
Sunday: 2pm - 5pm
Closed Mondays, Christmas Day and Good Friday.

Admission to the museum is free, and it is well worth a visit.

The cache is a magnetic micro. Please replace it exactly as you found it, making sure it is not visible. Enjoy!
