The National Museum of Ireland

The National Museum of Ireland (Ard-Mhúsaem na hÉireann) encompasses several separate sites dedicated to aspects of Ireland's history and cultural heritage. This iconic cultural institution charts Ireland's social, economic, military and political heritage, with one of its main aims to promote a wider understanding of the country's decorative arts. Its core collections include Irish glass, 21st century Irish craftsmanship, furniture design and interiors, fashion and jewellery, and Irish silver. The museum also pursues an active outreach and education programme, providing resources for teachers, tours and talks for adults and young people, plus long-term projects with local partners, including community exhibitions and conferences.
