Limerick Museum and Archives facts for kids
The Limerick Museum and Archives (LM&A) was a special team-up between two important places: the Limerick City Museum and the Limerick Archives. This partnership lasted from 2013 to 2017. Both of these places get their money from the Limerick City and County Council, which is like the local government that helps run the city and county.
During their time together, the museum and archives worked with many other groups, both public and private. They teamed up on different projects, put on cool shows (called exhibitions), and even made books about the history of Limerick city and county.
In May 2017, the Limerick Museum moved to a new home at the old Franciscan Friary on Henry Street. When this happened, the partnership ended. The Limerick Museum and the Limerick Archives went back to working on their own, just like before.
