National Heritage Week celebrates Ireland’s cultural, built and natural heritage. It brings together volunteers, community groups and heritage enthusiasts to share their experience, knowledge culture and practices.

Focus on Archives

With the theme of ‘Living Heritage’, this Heritage Week we’ll be sharing work from the National Photography Collection – our artists’ archive initiative, building a repository of Irish artists’ photographic practices.

Visit www.photomuseumireland.ie for daily features and interviews with photographers from our Artists-in-Residence programmes.
