The museum is open by appointment only so apparently you have to email the university using the contact given on the museum's web link unless you know someone in the faculty like we did. It's well worth a visit if you have any interest in geology or even fossils. And note that there are switches on the cabinets that turn on the lighting. Note that the location may be incorrect and that is actually accessed from the quadrangle.

Жаль, но попасть внутрь так и не удалось за почти четыре года. Хотели посмотреть в память о Джеймсе Митчелле, но чья-то злая воля постоянно срывала посещение. Приходили и находили постоянно закрытые двери. Рядом на кафедре ничего подсказать не могли. При входе во двор с правовой стороны был офис. Милая сотрудница обещала помочь и действительно связала нас с руководством. С нами вели содержательную переписку. Обещали назначить время визита, а потом оказалось, что это очень сложно и переписка умерла. Удивительная ситуация. Гордость и историческая ценность университета, а так трудно доступна. Зоологический Музей природы или таксикодермический мы сумели посмотреть сразу. Маленький, но содержательный музей. Странный диссонанс. Спасибо сотрудникам, которые пытались оказать нам содействие, а какой дракон стережет сокровище не ясно и по сей день.

Wonderful university building outside! A little cute Museum, but difficult to find and really simple in its design. Positive thought is that it's free entry and very close to the taxidermy museum.

Museum has been closed for about 3 years now. Drove 200 kilometers from Dublin only to be greeted by a chap who told us the the museum has been in renovation since before Covid times. Also the location on Google maps will point you to a random house across the road. Thank you for wasting hours of my time driving from Dublin...
