The Shackleton Museum Athy, is one of 11 museums that has received accreditation under the Museum Standards Programme for Ireland (MSPI) from the Heritage Council, as the sector prepares a fightback against the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The certificates were presented at a special online ceremony today. Accreditation certificates were awarded in 2020 but last year’s ceremony was delayed due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Selection under MSPI is seen as a major accolade in the sector. The Shackleton Museum Athy achieved a Maintenance of Full Accreditation certificate in 2020 for excellence in caring for its collections; as well as its museum management, visitor services, and education and exhibitions programmes.
