Overzicht van musea in Dublin


Hieronder vindt u een overzicht van musea in Dublin. De gegevens zijn afkomstig uit “Museums of the World” (6de editie, 1997) en de “International Directory of Arts” (24ste editie, 1998) en werden aangepast of aangevuld. De onderstaande lijst geeft de musea in alfabetische volgorde (volgens het eerste betekenisvolle woord van de eigennaam zoals die voorkomt in “Museums of the World”). In de mate van het mogelijke werd ook voor elk museum een e-mailadres en een website vermeld. In de meeste gevallen werd ook aangeduid in welke sector het genoemde museum thuishoort. Hiervoor werden de benamingen in “Museums of the World” of de “International Directory of Arts” gebruikt.

De vermelde trefwoorden zeggen iets meer over de aard van de collectie van de genoemde bibliotheek. Deze trefwoorden werden overgenomen zoals ze in “Museums of the World” voorkomen (d.w.z. onvertaald). Als laatste gegeven wordt voor elk museum tussen rechte haken het identificatienummer gegeven waaronder het in “Museums of the World” (MW) of de “International Directory of Arts” (IDA) terug te vinden is.
