Description

Come face-to-face with dinosaurs, meteorites and Spanish sailors with a visit to Ulster Museum.

Ulster Museum is home to Northern Ireland’s treasures of past and present. Home to rich collections of art, history and natural sciences all set within the beautiful surroundings of Belfast’s Botanic Gardens. Discover new perspectives about Ancient Ireland, inclusive global histories, the Troubles, and whatever the future may hold. The collections of Ulster Museum tell the story of our shared experiences, connecting the dots around who we are, the past we share, and the future we are building together.

Ulster Museum is free to visit and no booking is necessary. Make the most of your day to the museum with a bite to eat in Wynne & Pym Café, open Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 to 17:00, serving light bites and refreshments.
