The Irish Traditional Music Archive is a national public archive and resource centre, home to the largest and most comprehensive collection of materials related to Irish traditional music, song and dance.

ITMA has its home in a fine 18th-century terraced building, more than 230 years old, which is situated in a historic quarter of Georgian Dublin. The building is a four storey townhouse of three bays over a basement and area, with a three storey return and a mews stable house, and external vaulted cellars. It is owned by the State through the Office of Public Works (OPW).

Visitors will learn about the architectural features of the building as well as learning about some of the holdings in ITMA and the work carried out by the organisation.
