This is the first book to give a long-term and comprehensive account of the stories, the histories and the evolution of Irish museums and galleries.
"This important and ground-breaking study places Irish museums in a comprehensive framework that is or real benefit to museum professionals on both sides of the Atlantic - and internationally" DrKent Lydecker, Director, Museum of Fine Arts, St Petersburg, US; former Head of Education, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and Art Institute of Chicago. Dr. Marie Bourke has written a narrative account of museums in Ireland, which is a valuable analysis, for not only does it offer the linked stories of institutions on an all-island basis, but it places their development in the wider context of Britain, Europe and the United States.
