Museums Forum and AGM 2025
ConferenceJoin NI Museums Council for the 2025 NIMC AGM and Museums Forum.
Delegates can expect to hear about what is happening in the sector including projects, partnerships and updates on the Museum Trends feedback and NI Museums Policy.
Hear about the NI Museums Council early years book project, ‘Our Museum’, which saw three preschool classes explore their local museum and use the collections and stories to create a storybook that can be used by nurseries, libraries and families to help them engage with their local museum. You can also learn about the NIMC Scouts Badge project, how our museums are connecting and challenging young people and also learn how you can still get involved.
Delegates will also have opportunities to participate in discussions about what they want to see in the new NIMC Corporate Plan and network with colleagues.
This event will be photographed.
