Photo Museum Ireland, formerly known as The Gallery of Photography, is the leading voice for photography in Ireland. This renowned arts organization was established in 1978 by John Osman and has since become a beloved institution. As Photo Museum Ireland, their mission is to foster a dynamic culture of photographic practice across various platforms.

They are dedicated to showcasing the best of contemporary Irish and international photography through their free exhibitions. The organization provides sustained support for artists throughout their careers, offering development programs and opportunities to present their work to audiences nationally and internationally. With a vision to enrich people's lives by increasing the enjoyment of photographic art, Photo Museum Ireland encourages critical thinking and discussion on photography through various channels, including in-house, outreach, and online platforms.

Their ultimate goal is to relocate to a larger space comparable to international 'fotomuseums' and further elevate contemporary Irish photography to global museum standards. By paying artists fairly and providing long-term support, they ensure the growth and success of the photographic community in Ireland. Engaging audiences and promoting a culture of collecting photography, Photo Museum Ireland offers free public talks, workshops, and tours, as well as a specialist bookshop and print sales outlet.

Whether you're an artist, photography enthusiast, or simply curious about the art form, Photo Museum Ireland welcomes you to join their community and experience the power of photography. Visit their location in Meeting House Square, Dublin, and explore their extensive programs and exhibitions
