As museums may also be considered services or organizations with similar objectives and functions, such as open-air museums”

24) With the exception of 8 museums which operate independently from the Ephorates of Antiquities, all other Archaeological Museums make use of the electronic facilities of the Ephorates they belong to.
25) The web sites of the Greek Archaeological & Byzantine Museums are presented and managed through the main server of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture “OΔΥΣΣΕΑΣ” (www.culture.gr)

27) The definition currently being applied by the museum sector is the definition devised by the sector for the purposes of developing a national museum policy framework. This framework was developed by the Heritage Council in consultation with the sector. The definition is follows: “Museums are not for profit institutions that collect, safeguard, hold in trust, research, develop and interpret collections of original objects and original objects on loan, for the public benefit. They function publicly as places where people learn from and find inspiration and enjoyment through the display and research of original objects.
28) The National Museum of Ireland is under the ægis of the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism and regularly advises the Minister concerning national museum issues. The Director of the National Museum of Ireland has a comprehensive range of legal powers and functions under Statute law which are relevant to the national museum’s operation in Ireland. There is statutory provision for the designation of museums in the ownership and control of local authorities under the terms of the National Cultural Institutions Act 1997. Curators may also be designed to carry out certain functions of the Director of the National Museum under the terms of the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 1994. The representative body for the museum sector in Ireland is the Irish Museums Association. The Heritage Council is (the only body) charged with proposing policy advice, providing advice and providing small-scale grant aid and funding to the sector. It operates an accreditation programme for Irish museums under its Museums Standards Programme: www.museumsireland.ie The Council of National Cultural Institutions was established in 1997 and includes the Heritage Council, The National Museum, The National Gallery, The Arts Council, The Irish Museum of Modern Art and the Crawford Arts Gallery (Cork) and the Chester Beatty Library, the National Theatre, National Concert Hall and National Library. The Local Authority Curators Group represents museum curators in this particular sector of the museum profession.
