Irish Museums re-open
The re-opening of Irish museums to the public is a very positive and welcome step. Museums play a vital role in connecting people to their cultural heritage and identity. Many museums will re-open throughout July and August but some regretfully will not. The Irish Museums Association have gathered together the information of those museums and galleries opening and produced an interactive map showing all the current details and will update the map as further openings take place.
