Arts-Culture-Heritage

Clare County Library Service is a publicly funded resource to be used for information, learning, culture and the imagination thereby improving the intellectual and cultural quality of life of the community, and is crucial in achieving equality of access to the benefits of the information society.

Clare Museum is one of the ten county museums in the Republic of Ireland (Donegal, Monaghan, Cavan, Louth, Cork, Tipperary South, Kerry, Limerick and Waterford).

The establishment of Clare Museum is in line with the National Heritage Council's policy to see a systematic development of local authority based county museum structures.

Our main aim is to collect, store, preserve, exhibit and interpret the material culture of County Clare.
