Museum Standards Programme
Kerry County Museum has recently been included in the Museum Standards Programme for Ireland (MSPI). The programme, which is run under the aegis of the Heritage Council, sets out to raise standards of Irish museums and to bring them into line with standards elsewhere in Europe and across the world. The Museum Standards Programme consists of a series of detailed, and rigorous, minimum standards and objectives that recognise international best practice in museums. The voluntary programme was developed in full consultation with the museum sector and now has over thirty participants, all of whom are endeavouring to raise their levels of professionalism.
