Irish Museums Association
The Irish Museums Association is an all-island network for the Irish museum community. It aims to promote and support the museum sector through activities that highlight the value of our collections and the contribution of museums to our society as places of learning, conservation, research, and interpretation.
Our goal is to inspire the people of Ireland to engage with the rich cultural collections that museums hold in trust: these are the record of our past, the touchpoint for our present, and our legacy for future generations.
