A Future For Our Past — Museums in the 21st Century

What is the purpose of museums? How have museums in Ireland evolved over the past 30 years or so? Are there too many or too few? North of the border, how do they operate in a divided society? How should they be funded? To address these and related questions, listen to History Ireland editor Tommy Graham in discussion with Tony Canavan (former History Ireland museums reviewer), Lar Joye (Irish Museum Association) and Heather McGuicken (Northern Ireland Museums Council).

This Hedge School is supported by Tipperary County Council, Tipperary Museum of Hidden History and ICOM Ireland.
