National Science and Ecclesiology Museum

The National Science and Ecclesiology Museum has been able to develop two main collections, now holding the largest collection of scientific instruments in public display in Ireland, most of which were manufactured in Ireland between 1880 and 1920.

The first is the large group of scientific instruments mostly associated with Nicholas Callan of which a full catalogue for this collection was published in 1994 ‘The Scientific Apparatus of Nicholas Callan & other historic instruments. The second part of the Museum is a collection of ecclesiastical artifacts from the past three centuries of which a catalogue has also been prepared ‘St Patrick's College Maynooth Museum of Ecclesiology: A catalogue of Ecclesiastical items spanning two centuries of the College history’.
