| The Irish Museums Association 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. The IMA organises an annual conference in February, an Annual Lecture in November, publishes newsletters in Spring and Autumn and produces a journal Museum Ireland each Winter. The Association also organises lectures and special events in collaboration with other museum-related bodies. We welcome as members anyone working in, or with an interest in, Irish museums and aim to be the voice of the Irish museums community.
