Tomorrow, 12th August, begins National Heritage Week – undoubtedly one of the busiest weeks of the year for heritage professionals! This year has lots of variety for us – we’re privileged to be sharing updates on collections, exhibition, and interpretation projects with some wonderful museums, showcasing a community heritage project to preserve a historic graveyard, curating the unique Leitrim Women’s Pop-up Museum, and providing children’s heritage craft workshops in Galway and Laois. Hoping to also make it to some of the brilliant events going on in our region – Heritage Week is a such a valuable initiative, and it is always a pity that it passes so quickly!
