How Do I Donate to Donegal County Museum
Back To Museum Collection
We continue to develop and expand our collections and are always interested to hear about any objects which you may be willing to donate. We are particularly interested in those that are related to the history of County Donegal.
Every object can tell a story. All objects accepted into the collections are acquired in accordance with our Collections Policy. Not all objects accepted into the collections will be placed on display. Donated objects become part of the Donegal County Museum collection and may be used in future exhibitions.
Contact the Museum at museum@donegalcoco.ie and let them know that you would like to donate an item. You can then either call into the Museum with your donation or a member of staff will make an appointment to visit you. Once the required forms have been completed the item will be catalogued.
If it requires any preventative conservation this will also be undertaken e.g., treated for woodworm etc. The object may go on display in our long-term exhibition if it is relevant to the subjects covered in this exhibition. It may also be used in any of our temporary exhibitions.
For our temporary exhibitions the Museum will accept items on loan for specific periods of time however in general the Museum prefer items to be donated.
