Clare Museum is inviting people to take part in a special exhibition of vintage Christmas cards this festive season.

The display will showcase cards dating from the 20th century - up to and including 1999.

The museum is asking people to lend their vintage cards for inclusion in the exhibition, along with a brief story or memory associated with them.

Cards should be in good condition, and the museum says entries with a personal story or sentimental connection will be particularly welcome.

The Christmas card exhibition will run from 2 December 2025 to 3 January 2026.

The closing date for submissions is 28 November and all accepted cards will be returned by the end of January.

Those interested are asked to email claremuseum@clarecoco.ie with details of their cards.
