The Irish Museums Association (IMA) is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting the interests of museums and those who work in them throughout Ireland, both north and south. It was founded in 1977.[1]
The IMA organises an annual conference in February,[2] an Annual Lecture in November, publishes newsletters in Spring and Autumn and produces a journal Museum Ireland (ISSN 0961-9690) each Winter. The Association also organises lectures and special events in collaboration with other museum-related bodies. They welcome as members anyone working in, or with an interest in, Irish museums and aim to be the voice of the Irish museums community.
