Art Fund Prize for museums and galleries

In February, the Mid-Antrim Museum at The Braid made the long list of museums considered for the 2009 Art Fund Prize for museums and galleries. Everyone at The Braid is very excited to be part of the achievement - this is the first time in the history of the Art Fund Prize that a museum in Northern Ireland has made the long list.


The £100,000 prize will be announced in June and everyone can help The Braid to win by visiting the Art Fund Prize website and tellling them what you think of The Braid.

We're eagerly awaiting the arrival of the juding panel in April and we've organised a series of exciting events to celebrate this achievement. It's all happening on Love Your Museum Day, Saturday 4 April between 10am and 4pm. For more information about the day's activities, visit The Mid-Antrim Museum website. The programme includes face-painting, live music and special tours.
