The Irish American Heritage Museum was officially opened on Tuesday morning in its new home in downtown Albany, New York.

Various government officials were present, including Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings and Deputy Consul General Jackie O'Halloran Bernstein, for the cutting of the Irish themed green ribbon to the new facility on Tuesday morning.

“It’s a historic occasion,” Ed Collins, chairman of the museum's board of trustees, told the Irish Voice.

“This was all set in motion many years ago,” he added.

Established in 1986, the museum was located for a quarter of a century in the village of East Durham, in the Catskills. The original museum had been opened during the summer, but the new facility will be open all year around. Officials began planning the move three years ago in an effort to boost attendance.
