The case studies here have been funded by a wide range of different sources. Much of the funding has come from the museums themselves and from their governing bodies. Departments, European funding, the Heritage Lottery Fund, private sponsorship, and the Northern Ireland Museums Council itself have all been important players. This range in funders illustrates not only how adept museums are at securing support for what they believe is important – it also shows how relevant they are to a wide range of different agendas. The range of case studies here is by no means exhaustive. It is a sample of what museums have to offer, and does not cover every museum in Northern Ireland or every project of value. Some museums have submitted more than one case study. There is no benchmark for museum learning projects in Northern Ireland, and the scope in what they have to offer, and the variety of audiences they reach, is such that it would not be a worthwhile exercise to judge one against the other. Hence, all those submitted have been included here. NIMC will continue to gather such case studies to contribute to the growing body of evidence.

    TUARASCÁIL BHLIANTÚIL ANNUAL REPORT 2014 COMHAIRLE CONTAE LÚ LOUTH COUNTY COUNCIL COUNCIL COAT OF ARMS The Arms of the County, as granted by the Chief Herald to the Council in 1976, are derived as follows:- “Vert a besant charged with a Dexter Hand aversant coupled at the wrist proper” This is the description of the lower part of the shield which is coloured green (vert) and on which is imposed a heraldic expression of the Dextera Dei or Right Hand of God from Muireadach’s Cross at Monasterboice. As on the latter, the armorial design shows the hand against a circular background or nimbus. This section of the Arms represents in particular the rural (or County Health District) part of the County. Chief Sable, two ancient ships, sails set argent The top part of the Arms is black in colour commemorating Muirthemne, the old Irish name of the sea off the County Louth Coast, and which translated into English means the “darkness of the sea”. The ships are inspired by the Coat of Arms of the Borough of Drogheda, which includes a ship anchored at a quayside. Each ship can be taken to represent respectively the Borough of Drogheda and the Urban District of Dundalk, both areas comprised within the administrative County. The ships are also representational of the fact that the County has always been a great centre of trade and commerce. The Crest The Crest incorporates a sword, the symbol of administration, surrounded by ears of barley. This design at once illustrates the nature of the Coat of Arms as a symbol of a civic administration, and the importance of agriculture in the life of the County.

They concentrate on what has been a constant theme for me - an endless fascination with interiors both for what they tell us about the people who inhabit these places even when they are not there and the curiosity aroused by half-seen glimpses spied through windows and doors. The mystery of the not-quite-known is forever enticing.

    “Oval forms occur in the natural world and are found in cells, pollen grains, seeds, eggs and skulls. These have structures that have evolved to contain matter and provide protection. My hollow sculpted forms explore the theme of containment. Constructed walls form a ‘taut membrane’, which is pierced and made permeable. Intricacy of surface detail is counterbalanced by Duo, 2016 the simplicity of the ovoid form.” Ceramic stoneware, 17 H x 40 W x 27 D cm Frances Lambe Ireland b. 1961 Frances Lambe studied at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin. She works with a variety of different clays from terracotta through to white stoneware and porcelain. Frances usually leaves her work unglazed except for the occasional application of oxides. A hallmark of her work is the delicate finish, she pays particular attention to ensure that surface texture unites with form. Her source of inspiration is the natural world, in particular the sea. Her ceramic forms describe an underwater world, the sphere, the oval and undulating forms are recurring themes. Their purity of form recalls stones that have been polished by the movement of water and sand. Frances’ work is in public and private collections including the National Museum of Ireland, the Department of Foreign Affairs of Ireland, the Office of Public Works, and the National Museum of Northern Ireland. Frances Lambe works from her studio in Co. Louth, Ireland. Education 1979 ‐ 83 Diploma in Art Education, National College of Art and Design, Dublin 1983 ‐ 84 Principles of Teaching Art, National
