Ireland and Empire, its Legacy on the Role of Irish Museums and Communities

Ireland may have been England’s first colony, but it also formed an integral part of the imperial system and people from Ireland served as colonists and as active imperialists. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, especially those relating to material culture and collecting, Dr Ohlmeyer will explore how empire is remembered and its legacy for our museums and communities.

This talk marks International Museum Day and responds to this year’s theme of ‘The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities.’
