Abstract

This paper looks at the context of cross-border working on the island of Ireland through the lens of its museums. The policy frameworks and breadth of activity are discussed in addition to the challenges posed by Brexit – specifically for partnerships and networks. The author highlights the opportunity that exists for the NI sector to approach Brexit from a position of authority, providing knowledge and expertise from which the regions can draw, taking the role of museums in supporting intercultural dialogue and inclusion from objectivity to activism.
