Have Your Say on the Future of County Museum

Louth County Council is asking people across the county to share their views on the future of County Museum.

The Council is developing a new Strategic Development Programme for the Museum. This plan will guide the Museum’s work from 2026 to 2030 ensuring it continues to protect, present and celebrate Louth’s rich cultural and historical heritage while responding to the changing needs of communities across the county.

The public consultation runs until Friday, 22nd May and members of the public are encouraged to share their views by completing a short online survey.

Feedback gathered during the consultation will help inform priorities for museum exhibitions, facilities, and learning and engagement programmes over the next five years.

Amanda Branigan, Head of Cultural Services at Louth County Council, said:

“Our new five-year Museum Development Programme is about ensuring the County Museum continues to be a welcoming, engaging and meaningful space for everyone.

“The museum plays a vital role in preserving our shared heritage and telling the stories of Louth’s people and places. This consultation gives the public an opportunity to tell us what they value most from exhibitions and educational programmes to access, interpretation, and community involvement.

“We would strongly encourage people of all ages to get involved, share their ideas and help shape the future of the County Museum.”
