Museums & Galleries

Once called the ‘Athens of the North’, history envelopes Belfast; it has so done since ancient times. It is a city of innovation and adventure where nothing has ever been impossible. It is inevitable then that the achievements of an industrious people and a great city should demand fitting showplaces in which their accomplishments are put on view to inspire subsequent generations and visitors from abroad. An hour or an afternoon spent immersing yourself in this rich tapestry of work is to take yourself into the mind of invention, resourcefulness, ingenuity and talent.
