Secondary school teachers are very welcome to visit IMMA with their class groups any time during opening hours for a Self-Guided Visit. We would appreciate if you can email [email protected] to let us know when your group are intending to visit so that we can manage numbers safely in the gallery on the day.
IMMA can organise a 40 minute zoom call with a facilitator from our Visitor Engagement Team. Your class can explore an artwork or theme from our current exhibitions and talk to the VET facilitator about their responses and ideas. Contact [email protected] to schedule a zoom engagement, and contact [email protected] for more details.
There are a number of online resources and documents which can enable second-level students at school and at home to engage with IMMA digitally (scroll down page).
IMMA organises two Transition Year experiences during the academic year. Over the course of 4 days (Tue-Fri) TY students explore the museum, both the galleries and behind the scenes, discovering who works at IMMA, and what they contribute to IMMA’s activities. TY experiences are in October and early springs. Contact IMMA HR to apply: [email protected]

IMMA have produced the What is …? information programme, which explores key themes and issues in relation to modern and contemporary art, through a series of talks, information booklets and web-based resources. As part of this programme, a Glossary was created containing a select number of terms relating to the subjects of Modern and Contemporary Art. This glossary is not comprehensive or exhaustive and is intended to be informative rather than definitive. This glossary will be developed, amended and expanded over time.
You can listen back to a selection of previous Talks by visiting our Soundcloud channel. IMMA has a dynamic talks programme with regular contributions from artists, historians and curators, all discussing underlying themes from the Exhibitions and Collection programmes at IMMA. Selected recordings are part of the IMMA Audio Archive in operation from 1991 to present.
