NMNI Annual Report and Accounts 2019-2020 National Museums Northern Ireland Annual Report and Accounts For the year ended 31 March 2020 Laid before the Northern Ireland Assembly under Article 10 (2) (c) and 11 of the Museums and Galleries (Northern Ireland) Order 1998 by the Department for Communities on 17th December 2020 All enquiries related to this publication should be sent to us at National Museums Northern Ireland, 153 Bangor Road, Cultra, Holywood, Co.Down, BT18 0EU or email: [email protected]. NATIONAL MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES OF NORTHERN IRELAND ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 Chairman’s Foreword As Chairman of the Board of Trustees of National Museums NI I am delighted to be able to present to you the Trustee’s Annual Report for 2019/20.I do so at a moment when we are living through exceptional times and the future is less certain than it has ever been before. Despite that I believe there has never been a more important role for museums to play within our society. Evidence demonstrates that engaging with the collections and our programmes supports improvements in health and wellbeing, builds skills and confidence and stimulates learning and understanding. As custodians of the objects that tell the story of our people and our place we are uniquely placed to help build stronger connections to our shared heritage and pose the questions that help us to make sense of the world around us. Looking back on 2019/20 this Annual Report highlights that as an organisation we have firmly established strong foundations from which to achieve this and I look forward with confidence to the year ahead. Chief Executive’s Welcome In this period of toil and turbulence, I am heartened by the opportunity that the Annual Review provides to pause and reflect. This year has undoubtedly presented challenges but, more importantly, it has seen significant progress across all parts of the organisation. I reflect on the journey we embarked on when I first joined the organisation in 2016. It is a marathon, not a sprint. It has not been a case of adapting our strategy and continuing as we were. Rather, it has been a case of plotting a new course and resetting how people perceive and engage with our museums. In reaching toward our ambitions, we acknowledge the depth of the change process. We are moving from a position of imbalance and passivity to one where our museums play a genuinely valued and meaningful role in the lives of all people and every community in Northern Ireland. We also recognise that more changes need to take place to ensure our continued relevance and sustainability. While the record-breaking success of 2018/19 is a welcome accolade, we are under no illusion that our journey of transformation is complete. I recall Culture Lab; Don’t Believe the Stereotype, part of our Making the Future programme, as one of the highlights of the year. Not because of what the exhibition achieved, but of what it represents. A challenging, brave and contemporary museum voice that came together through teamwork, innovation and creativity. Indeed, Making the Future is an appropriate name for this endeavour. It represents the whole year at National Museums NI. We had fewer large-scale exhibitions to deliver in 2019/20, so we pressed the button on building the structures and plans that will sustain our journey into the future. This includes completing a significant restructuring of the organisation to strengthen skills and capacity in key positions. It includes major developments in our ability to care for, manage and research the national collection with significant progress being made in our storage redevelopment projects as well as the announcement of strategic partnerships with Queen’s University Belfast and Ulster University. Crucially, it also includes progress on the masterplan, which articulates our vision and roadmap for change at each museum. The Ulster Folk Museum was shortlisted to proceed to the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s Heritage Horizon Awards in February, out of 146 initial expressions of interest. This is the finest endorsement that our plans are inspiring, compelling and transformational.

This operating name has been adopted and used throughout the Annual Report and Accounts. Portfolio National Museums NI comprises: - Ulster Museum - Ulster Folk Museum - Ulster Transport Museum - Ulster American Folk Park Objectives and activities The Museums and Galleries (Northern Ireland) Order 1998 (the “Order”) established a Board of Trustees for National Museums NI and provided that all property, rights and liabilities of the Trustees of the Ulster Museum and the Trustees of the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum would transfer to this Board. It repealed previous legislation affecting the Ulster Museum and the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum. The Trustees of the Ulster Museum and the Trustees of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum were thereby abolished. National Museums NI assumed responsibility for the Ulster American Folk Park from October 1998. A subsidiary company, National Museums Northern Ireland Enterprises Limited, was incorporated in 2008 for the purposes of assuming trading activity currently carried out by National Museums NI, it is currently dormant until such activities are transferred. The Order requires the Trustees to: - care for, preserve and add to the collections; - ensure that the collections are available to the public through exhibitions, effective interpretation and availability for research and study; and - promote the awareness, appreciation and understanding of: - art, history and science; - the way of life and traditions of people; - the migration and settlement of people; with particular reference to the heritage of Northern Ireland. In setting the objectives and planning the activities for the year, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland’s guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities have helped to achieve the charity’s purposes and provide a benefit to the beneficiaries. The requirements of the Order meet the following charitable purposes as defined by the Charities Commission: The advancement of the arts, culture, heritage and science; and The advancement of education. 1 NATIONAL MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES OF NORTHERN IRELAND ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 National Museums NI: Who We Are National Museums NI comprises four museums and serves as a custodian of the National Collection of 1.4 million objects which are multidisciplinary, diverse and span all time periods, referencing Northern Ireland within, and to, the wider world. Ulster Museum The Ulster Museum is Northern Ireland’s treasure house of the past and the present – home to rich collections of art, history and natural sciences. It is a vibrant place where friends and family enjoy knowledge and stories drawn from local and global culture. It is a place of awe and wonder, but also a safe and trusted space which allows diverse voices to be heard and difficult questions to be explored. Ulster Folk Museum The Ulster Folk Museum is an open-air museum – rolling hills of countryside and a bustling town filled with authentic period buildings, meticulously transported from their original settings. The Museum reveals how we have shaped our natural environment over time creating a cultural landscape rich in traditions and diversity. Its commitment to preserving and interpreting our way of life from the early 1900s connects us with values, skills and customs that would otherwise be lost. Ulster Transport Museum The Ulster Transport Museum tells the story of transport and social change in this part of the world since the birth of the modern era. It is the journey of tenacious, local people finding more efficient ways to travel and to transport the essentials of daily life. It is a place to discover that story and offer inspiration for the designers, engineers and adventurers of the future. Ulster American Folk Park Embark on an epic journey across the centuries, and the vast Atlantic Ocean, as you create the story of Irish emigration. The Ulster American Folk Park is a place that preserves the importance of Ulster people’s contribution to establishing modern North America and tells compelling stories of Irish emigration. It seeks to alter people’s perceptions about emigration through personal stories of discovery. Our role and purpose National Museums NI’s role is to work with the public to explore and share compelling stories about real objects and collections in unique settings that enable all of us to gain new knowledge and understanding. We are passionate about playing a vital role at the heart of our society, making a difference to the lives of many individuals as well as contributing to the development of a vibrant society. The collections are at the centre of everything we do, and we are committed to working in partnership with people, local communities and organisations that share our aspirations. We want to ensure that the widest possible audience has access to our national collections. We operate for the public and national benefit, not just for this generation but for future generations and for all visitors to Northern Ireland.

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.

NATIONAL MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES OF NORTHERN IRELAND ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019 Chief Executive’s Welcome Museums have a certain affinity for looking back on the past and studying it to tell stories of change, evolution and progress. In the future if we were to look back on financial year 2018-19 at National Museums NI, I’m confident it will be underlined as a year of great significance. This was the year when we opened The Troubles & Beyond gallery in the Ulster Museum laying down a marker of our intent to be braver and more active in facilitating understanding of our complex past. It was also a year of headliner exhibitions and broken records with the trio of loans – Dippy On Tour, Tim Peake’s Space Capsule and Leonardo 500 – contributing to our highest ever visitor numbers of 905,102 visitors, which will serve us well into the future in terms of new visitors returning. More critical than the record-breaking visitor performance, however, is the organisation’s progress along its journey of transformational change.

  • Genomic Characterization of Three Marine Fungi, Including Emericellopsis Atlantica Sp

Sutton8,10, Alan D. W. Dobson8,9 and Teppo Rämä1 ABSTRACT Marine fungi remain poorly covered in global genome sequencing campaigns; the 1000 fungal genomes (1KFG) project attempts to shed light on the diversity, ecology and potential industrial use of overlooked and poorly resolved fungal taxa. This study characterizes the genomes of three marine fungi: Emericellopsis sp. TS7, wood- associated Amylocarpus encephaloides and algae-associated Calycina marina. These species were genome sequenced to study their genomic features, biosynthetic potential and phylogenetic placement using multilocus data. Amylocarpus encephaloides and C. marina were placed in the Helotiaceae and Pezizellaceae (Helotiales), respectively, based on a 15-gene phylogenetic analysis. These two genomes had fewer biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) than Emericellopsis sp. TS7 isolate. Emericellopsis sp. TS7 (Hypocreales, Ascomycota) was isolated from the sponge Stelletta normani. A six-gene phylogenetic analysis placed the isolate in the marine Emericellopsis clade and morphological examination confirmed that the isolate represents a new species, which is described here as E.

  • A Checklist of Collectors of Irish Native Flowering Plants
    A CHECKLIST OF COLLECTORS OF IRISH NATIVE FLOWERING PLANTS AND FERNS REPRESENTED IN THE HERBARIUM, NATIONAL BOTANIC GARDENS, GLASNEVIN, DUBLIN (DBN), WITH BIOGRAPHICAL ANNOTATIONS. E. CHARLES NELSON National Botanic Gardens. Glasnevin. Dublin 9, Ireland.* * Present address: Tippitiwitchet Cottage, Hall Road, Outwell, Wisbech PE14 8PE, U.K. PATRICK A. REILLY 26 Nephin Road, Dublin 7. Glasra new series 3(1): 1 – 30. publication date i. 1997 ABSTRACT. A checklist is provided of collectors represented in the Irish section of the herbarium of the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin (DBN), with brief biographical notes about some collectors. INTRODUCTION The native phanerogams and ferns section of the herbarium in the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin, has been accumulated during almost two centuries. The complicated history of the herbarium, including its transfer in 1970 from the Natural History Section of the National Museum of Ireland, has been variously documented (e.g. Bal11890; Johnson 1891; Anonymous 1970; Nelson & McCracken 1987; Nelson 1990), and catalogues of other sections or parts of the herbarium are published elsewhere (e.g. Murphy & Synnott 1979; Nelson 1980; Synnott 1978, 1980). Papers discussing the collections of various individuals have also been compiled but none so far issued has concerned collections made in Ireland - for example, Augustine Henry's forestry herbarium (Walsh 1957), Robert Brown's Australian plants (Powell & Morley 1976), R. LI. Praeger's Crassulaceae (Nelson 1994), N. J. Winch's plants (Nelson 1987), James McNab's painted herbarium (Nelson 1989), Dr Patrick Neill's garden plants (Nelson 1992), C. E. H. Ostenfeld's specimens from Western Australia (Nelson & Scannell 1978), James Niven's Cape of Good Hope hortus siccus (Nelson & Rourke 1993), and Shetland Islands' gatherings by Dr Gilbert McNab and others (Nelson 1995).
