We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded full accreditation by the Museum Standards Programme of Ireland (MSPI), the national benchmark for excellence in museum practice, administered by the Heritage Council.
This accreditation recognises our commitment to excellence in collections care, governance, public engagement, and long-term stewardship, while reinforcing photography’s place within Ireland’s cultural record.
The rigorous accreditation process validates our commitment to best practice through robust policies, procedures, and standards of collection care. We are especially proud to have reached this milestone three years ahead of the typical five-year timeline.
Photo Museum Ireland’s accreditation under the Museum Standards Programme for Ireland is a significant milestone, recognising the care, professionalism and ambition at the heart of the organisation. As a leading centre for contemporary photography, the museum is making an important contribution to Ireland’s cultural landscape. The MSPI exists to support museums in demonstrating these standards and sharing their work with the public.
