Description
Northern Ireland's treasure house of the past and present.
Take 8,000 square metres of galleries, add rich collections of art, archaeology, local history and natural sciences, mix them with a constantly changing programme of temporary exhibitions and events, and you have all the ingredients for a fascinating voyage of discovery. From ancient Ireland to the South Pacific, from masterpieces of modern art to rare flowers, the Museum is a window to the north of Ireland and a window on the world.
The Museum will be closed for 2 years from the end of August 2006 for major building/redevelopment work. A programme of outreach activities will be available throughout Northern Ireland during this period. Information on redevelopment progress and on outreach activities will be available on the Museum's website.
